Pinestone Signet Ring

Pinolith, which we like to call Pinestone, is an extremely rare stone consisting of howlite, dolomite, and graphite that takes its name from its pine nut-shaped crystals. During WWII, much of the Austrian deposit was destroyed when Axis troops mined it for its high manganese content to use in weapon construction, making surviving specimens exceptionally rare.

Pinestone represents imagination and creativity. Its distinctive pine nut-shaped crystal patterns serve as a reminder of nature's artistry and the slow, patient processes that create something truly unique. No two pinestones are the same - each has its very own, one-of-a-kind patterns. The stone embodies rarity, individuality, and an appreciation for the uncommon.

It was first discovered in the late eighteen hundreds in the Lower Tauern mountain range in Austria, This was thought to be the only source of Pinestone in the world, until a few years ago when a group of gold miners stumbled across a new deposit in British Columbia, Canada.
