Something washed up on the muddy banks, dredged from the silt by Earth-churn and a seismic shuddering. It’s the crackingopen that always seems to happen as soon as things settle for too long. Did it hail from the Permian? The Carboniferous? Somewhere, sometime, in that neighbourhood. There is something off about it though, it doesn’t look like the other fossils I’ve seen around here… 

The central stone is a "technofossil" made from mined waste, which replaces the conventionally-mined gemstone. It is made in-house with a combination of gemstone offcuts/chips (from gem carvers), sterling silver offcuts (from Loki production), sea urchin spines (shell waste from a gourmet NSW supplier) as well as a variety of other salvaged materials. Each piece is handmade with variable materials, meaning every technofossil is unique and irreplicable. This is part of an ongoing Loki research initiative to revalue the minerals and materials we already have above ground, and avoid using materials that further damage the Earth.
