Sterling Silver Horseshoe Crab Pendant
Handmade in solid sterling silver on sterling silver chain
I’m sure you have seen horseshoe crabs on the beach before, but did you realize you were looking at one of the oldest animals on the planet. Often called “living fossils,” horseshoe crab ancestors can traced back through the geologic record to around 445 million years ago, 200 million years before dinosaurs existed! They aren’t actually “crabs”, in fact, they are more closely related to ticks, spiders, and scorpions!
Every year, more than 400,000 crabs are bled for the miraculous medical substance that flows through their bodies, now pharmaceutical companies are finally committing to an alternative that doesn't harm animals.
