~Grand Canyon~
The Grand Canyon is an absolute treasure for geologists and historians. This gorge is estimated to be formed 5 to 6 million years ago from the slow erosion of the Colorado River. The mile-high walls of this expansive northern Arizona canyon reveal layers of the Earth’s crust dating back nearly 2 billion years ago! Archeologists have discovered ruins and artifacts from native settlers in the area from about 12,000 years ago, with some evidence of their presence during the last Ice Age. Today, more than 5 million people from all over the globe come to awe at this magnificent landmark while hiking, horseback riding, river rafting, and even visiting the bar at the bottom of the canyon- that is if you can handle the 18+ mile hike down the steep terrain!
After each artifact or specimen has been discovered it is sent through a careful restoration process before being used in a design. If a particularly unique patina is found to add design value to an artifact, it's preserved & sealed to ensure its longevity & protection.
