Highland Marble Scottish Thistle Silver Earrings

A piece of hand-mined Scottish Highland Marble, set in a 925 sterling silver Scottish Thistle Design.
Legend has it that a group of Scottish warriors was once saved from an attack by Norseman because one of the attackers stepped on a thistle and screamed in pain and woke the Scots who could repel the attack.
This story might not be more then a mere legend but the thistle is one of Scotlands most important symbols and it can be found on many buildings, in logos of companies and on the uniforms of police officers. 

Scottish Highland Marble
Scottish Highland Marble is mined by hand in the Scottish Highlands and on some of the Scottish Islands.
Scottish Marble is a combination of limestone and serpentine whereas the limestone has a white milky colour, the serpetine can vary greatly from dark and nearly black green to a yellowish colour.
Highland Marble has been used to create jewellery for centuries and is supposed to bring good luck.
