{"product_id":"fossil-cave-bear-molar-prong-mount","title":"Fossil Cave Bear Molar Prong Mount","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet in a .999 fine silver custom mount handcrafted by Jim Rice. Hailing from Romania, this striking specimen is the largest we have ever seen, belonging to a bear of the species Ursus spelaeus. Mature adults could grew 8-10 feet tall and could weigh up to 2,000lbs. Some caves in which these bears lived show signs of alternating habitation between these massive creatures and humans, and Neanderthal shrines decorated with cave bear skulls have been discovered throughout Europe. There are no longer any active sites from which these teeth may be collected, and the available supply is dwindling, giving this eye-catching piece additional value and wonder. For reference, we have included an image of a fossilized molar with its attached root to show the remarkable anatomy of this kind of specimen. The impressive size and detail of this piece earn it its place in our 30th Anniversary Collection. Each prong of this .999 fine silver setting has been carefully hand-filed to a delicate point, adding to the refined beauty of this one-of-a-kind pendant. In addition to the artist's initials and the .999FS quality mark, this setting has been stamped \"3X\" to designate that it belongs to our 30th Anniversary Collection. Finished dimensions: 63mm x 27mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeed to add a chain?
