Jet
| | Jet is not a true gemstone nor a mineral, but a mineraloid derived from decaying wood under extreme pressure. Therefore, it is organic. Jet is believed to have been used in jewelry as early as 10,000 B.C., and was particularly popular in jewelry during the reign of Queen Victoria. In the U.S., it was the "rage" during the 1920s when women and young "flappers" wore multiple strings of long jet beads, which often hung to their waistlines. Jet is warm to the touch due to its insulating properties and, like amber, may induce an electrical charge when rubbed. | | | | |
