Description: We came across this rare find at an International Gem and Jewelry show, purchased directly from an American National Professor of Pakistani birth, who hand carried this beautiful piece in his carry on luggage all the way from Karachi, Pakistan. The professor told me this is a museum quality collectible, perfectly formed and polished. It is made of Fossilized Limestone from Dhadra, Sindh Province, Pakistan. Excellent condition - NO chips This beautiful piece is hand turned, formed and polished, all by hand. We rarely see this kind of work put into a piece of rare substance in the west. RARE FIND, Fossilized Limestone Dhadra Sindh Pakistan Prehistoric period (Wikipedia)Sindh's first known village settlements date as far back as 7000 BCE. Permanent settlements at Mehgarh currently in Balochisan, to the west expanded into Sindh. This culture blossomed over several millennia and gave rise to the Indus Valley Civilization around 3000 BCE. The Indus Valley Civilization rivaled the contemporary civilizations of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia in size and scope, numbering nearly half a million inhabitants at its height with well-planned grid cities and sewer systems.Pakistan’s Sindh Province Sindh is one of Pakistan’s four provinces, accounting for roughly one-quarter of the country’s populationin less than 18% of its land area. Its provincial capital, Karachi, is among the world’s largest megacities,and also the site of significant sectarian, ethnic, and political violence. Covering more than 54,000 squaremiles of southeastern Pakistan (about the size of Florida, Sindh stretches from theJacobabad district in the north to the vast Indus River delta wetlands abutting the Arabian Sea and India inthe south, and from the thinly-populated Dadu district in the west to the Thar Desert and a militarizedborder with India to the east. One-third of Pakistan’s 650-mile Arabian Sea coastline is inSindh. The vast majority of Sindh’s residents live at or near the final few hundred miles of the Indus’scourse. It makes a great conversation piece.
