Pastel Calcite Scarf

How on earth, you may ask, did the shells of marine animals - from sponges to mussels - end up producing, millions of years later, this stunningly beautiful 'design'?

Our planet once had low magnesium calcite seas where now they are high in magnesium calcite. Climates and times change - sometimes, as here, for the good. Calcite is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of trillions of marine organisms including plankton, sponges, and oysters, and is the main component of limestone (the name comes from the Latin for lime and chalk), but archaeologists and stonemasons call it alabaster after the Ancient Egyptian goddess Bast.

Weston is renowned as one of the world's most creative scarf designers, often using natural sources to produce beautiful scarves sold in luxury stores worldwide, but offered here at a very significant discount on the retail price.
