Neolithic Quartz & 14K Gold Ring

A distinctive ring featuring Neolithic quartz that was hand-shaped and drilled by Neolithic people in Mali. The quartz retains its original organic form and carries the marks of its early craftsmanship.

The stone is paired with a cast 14K gold sacred bundle, referencing the sacred bundle suspended above the altar area inside the large lodge structure at the Pawnee Indian Museum in Republic, Kansas. The piece is finished with a gold-filled band, keeping the focus on the stone, its history, and its connection to Pawnee culture.
