This is not one extraordinary thing but several simultaneously: a carved hematite of genuine quality, a fine onyx setting, and a functioning locket with original fittings intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHematite — iron oxide, polished to a mirror-like silver-black — was prized throughout the Victorian period for the precision with which it could be carved. A horse in motion in haematite requires a lapidary of skill: the stone is hard and unforgiving, and every mark is permanent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Victorian, c.1860\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHallmarks:\u003cbr\u003e\nUnmarked, tests as 12ct gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight 30mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth 25mm\u003cbr\u003e\nJump ring 3mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeight:\u003cbr\u003e\n16.14 grams\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"thenorthc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57223204503932,"sku":"CN1440","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/3423\/1615\/files\/il_fullxfull.8251239018_af37.jpg?v=1785256922","url":"https:\/\/thenorthc.co.uk\/products\/victorian-12ct-gold-pendant-carved-hematite-horse-onyx-reverse-opens-as-locket-c-1860-cn1440","provider":"TheNorthC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
