Jet Tumbled
Jet, often mistaken for a mineral, is actually a type of lignite, a precursor to coal, and is formed from decaying wood under extreme pressure over millions of years. This organic origin gives jet its unique characteristics; it is lightweight, can be highly polished, and possesses a velvety black sheen, making it particularly sought after for use in jewelry and ornamental objects since ancient times. Notably, during the Victorian era, it became widely popular for mourning jewelry because of its somber appearance and ease of carving. Chemically, jet is composed primarily of carbon, along with hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, with its structure revealing a fine-grained texture that enables detailed artistry in carving. Its formation process, geological occurrence, and physical properties not only make jet an intriguing subject for scientific study but also contribute to its historical and cultural significance.
Jet, given its organic origin and composition primarily of carbon, is not considered toxic. It is safe to handle and wear as jewelry or in other decorative forms. Unlike some minerals and gemstones that can release harmful substances or dust when cut or polished, jet does not pose such risks. Its formation from decaying wood under high pressure over millions of years results in a stable, non-toxic material. However, as with any fine particulate matter, inhaling dust from cutting or polishing jet without proper protective equipment could potentially irritate the respiratory system. Therefore, while jet itself is not toxic, standard safety precautions should be observed during its processing to avoid inhalation of dust particles.
