This is a beautiful example of a colorful crystalline stromatolite from the Lower Ordovician of Wisconsin. Authorities believe that stromatolites were formed by masses of green or blue-green algae, or ''cyanobacteria''. This stromatolite specimen is believed to be 495 million years old! This colorful stromatolite has re-crystallized into a stunning display of druzy quartz. The natural, strawberry-red coloration of this stromatolite is simply beautiful. The stromatolite has been professionally wire-wrapped with gold-filled wire into a stunning pendant. This is a rare stromatolite that is now a beautiful piece of jewelry.
