Eriksson’s Dune Moon-Phase Jewelry | Oldest Dune on Earth
Wear this handmade 3.22 billion year old sterling silver pendant featuring the moon phases, a genuine specimen of Eriksson’s Dune—the world’s oldest preserved, lithified dune from the Barberton Mountains, South Africa. It’s a rare, wearable link to Earth’s early tides and our evolving Earth–Moon system.
Scientific Significance
The Earth–Moon tides are written in alternating sandstone–shale layers in Eriksson's Dune, the record of ancient tidal cycles. In the Archean, Earth’s day lasted ~13 hours and the Moon orbited closer; stronger and weaker tides produced rhythmic laminations that still read like a planetary logbook.
Design & Materials
The pendant’s 925 sterling silver backing incorporates a subtle Moon-phase design—a nod to the tides that shaped Eriksson’s Dune. The mounted micro-specimen (about 3/8″ diameter) displays its characteristic lamination and contrasting tones for clear visual impact.
