 Simply Amber
£45.00
Amber is 150 million year old tree sap with the darker areas being insects or other natural items trapped within it.
This typically "golden" hue makes for a warm and distinctive scarf that can be dressed up or down.
You will be delighted when you see the actual scarf.
|
Meteorite
£45.00
A scarf from outer space no less! And millions of years old too. This type of meteorite is made of iron and nickel, and the "design" comes from a crystalline structure created by cooling from huge temperatures - producing a serously 'cool' scarf: very business-like, very sophisticated.
|
Aussie Nights
£45.00
This is a rich and detailed fragment of a mineral sample from Australia that was actually labelled Aussie Night.
The scarf could be worn sauntering round the Sydney Opera House, or climbing Ayres Rock to see the dawn come up.
Superbly textured, the silk brings out all the colour and detail to make for a very attractive scarf.
|
Quartz Pollock
£45.00
Is this a completely natural piece of quartz, or a Jackson Pollock painting?
Whichever, it makes for a delightfully interesting design that is actually very easy on the eye.
In soft, flowing silk it creates a scarf that even women who don\'t normally wear scarves would be very pleased with.
|
Agate Fire
£45.00
Rich, beautiful, burning browns, ochres and oranges with contrasting dark and light areas: a wonderful image for a scarf. It can be seen as abstract, or you can see in it whatever visions you wish.
|
Red Moss Agate
£45.00
This is ancient volcanic agate found in Montana. It is a semi-precious stone, and the red colour comes from infusions of iron oxide.
More importantly, the swirling clouds of red and blue combine to create a distinctively warm looking scarf.
|
Heliotropic Lakes
£45.00
Heliotrope (also known as Bloodstone) is formed from chalcedony with iron oxides creating the blood-red tones - which in this image have been digitally inverted to pink.
It is the birth stone for March, but this image reminds us of summer days, pink flamingoes and blue lakes.
|
Citrine Landscape
£45.00
This image is of Citrine, a form of quartz that typically has this pale yellow colour, and comes from the state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil.
Somehow it feels to us like the lines for a landscape sketch, but you'll probably think something completely different!
|
Marbellous
£45.00
This strikingly distinctive image is of a Crinoid Marble (hence the terrible pun - sorry!). Fossilised crinoids - marine animals often called sea lilies and feather-stars - have been found at 27,000 feet up Mount Everest, and this image seems to be of dozens of fossilised fragments of plant like animals. Beautiful all the same.
|
Montana Blues
£45.00
A beautiful agate from Montana in the USA that radiates with blues interspersed with sunflowers.
The delicate colours make it an any time, any where, any season scarf.
|
Ammonites
£45.00
Ammonites were successful marine animals during the Jurassic period, and are relatives of today's octopus and squid. Pliny the Elder named them because they look like the ram horns associated with the Egyptian god Ammon. But forget all that: this is simply a beautiful scarf!
|
Fossils
£45.00
While there is an instantly recognisable ammonite here, several other marine fossils are lurking in this scarf, which is scanned from a fossilised piece of sea floor.
The silk makes this a much more attractive scarf than this image shows: it really is a beauty.
|
Green Moss Agate
£45.00
With wonderful greens and yellows, this image looks like the sun shining through tropical waters filled with floating, transparent seaweeds.
As a scarf, it looks simply stunning with the greens particularly rich and rare.
|
Clouds
£45.00
Look out of the porthole on a plane, and this is the sort of view of clouds, land and sea that is often seen, yet this is an agate formed in a void in a volcanic rock. It makes for a wonderfully "wafting" scarf.
|
Rocks
£45.00
Unlike the familiar 'sea and sky' images of level-banded agates, this image that is taken from a quartz-filled void in anagate and is reminiscent of rocks above a sandy beach. As a scarf, the design and colours blend together most attractively.
