ATWJ1 - Whitby Jet

Foraged by hand from the Yorkshire coast in England, sea-washed jet such as this has been used for centuries to make shiny black jewelry. Many examples can be found from the Viking age. Whitby jet is now a relative rarity as all the main seams were mined out during the Victorian era when jet jewelry became incrediby fashionable.
