Now, the tall tale story...

 

Viking anchor ship

Thousands of years ago when the Vikings were conquering the world, a ship lost it's anchor. None wanted to face the wrath of Viking King Boru and a quick thinking long red bearded man made for port into Western Ireland. While two set about carving an anchor shape into the rocks of the seashore, the others gathered metal to melt. A crude anchor shape was cut into the stone, the metals melted and poured into the stone mold. The finished anchor took on the shapes and patterns of the stones it was cast in. Along with the history of the beautiful rugged Western Ireland.

Layers and layers of shale like rock make up the coast. Stepping stones for the Celtic Vikings.

Pure white silver, on an off white stingray skin. The black you see is reflections. With age it will only look better as it takes on a patina in the ridges.
