Vintage Carved Green Stone Band Ring

Description
A 1970s band ring carved from a single piece of green stone, its surface mottled in olive, moss, and grey with dark veining. The color drifts across the band like lichen on rock, no two angles quite alike. Solid stone rings of this kind were a staple of the decade's turn toward natural materials. The rounded profile sits smooth and cool on the hand.
