a CHITON, a mollusk
It’s truly beautiful
A jeweller wrapped a gold wire around it to make a pendant
Could be sewn to a velvet ribbon or attached to a leather string or silk string
Hey as the new owner, the choice is yours
One of a kind, the colours are amazing
It measures about 1.5 inches
I have no idea of the gold wire as I know it has never tarnished
Preloved from the 60's
Pretty old and still beautiful and rare
This could be unisex

@thisisnotachair it’s a beetle’ s carcass. This I know for sure and it’s from Africa. The color of this carcass only shows up once emptied and polished. A lot of work and it’s very beautiful and unique.

Well you could be right. So I was lead astray by the owner who sold them to me 30 yrs ago. Thank you for the info. I will look them up some more before I change the listing. It is actually quite smooth and very beautiful in color. Thank you for sharing your info
