Wooden and Banded Flint JewelleryThere are 14 products.
Material: Like the name already suggests, this material is characterized by a banded or striped colouring.
Colour: Like described above, there are several varieties of this type of flint, each with different colouring schemes. The darker, concentric material is mostly darkish brown with light brown bands. The main variety, however, is grey to brownish grey with white bands.
Patination of originally banded pieces renders the darker, finer parts opaque, but without obliterating the internal structure.
Other information: Banded flint comes from a large (10 x 40 kilometres), but well defined area on the northern fringes of the Świętokrzyskie (Holy Cross) Mountains in Małopolska (Little Poland), between the towns of Iłża en Ożarów.
It occurs in two beds, 0.7-3.0 meters apart in limestone of the higher Upper Oxfordian (Borkowski & Budziszewski)
