Strike Slip Fault Pendant

The Strike Slip Fault pendant represents a fault where two blocks of rock move relative to one another and the plane of the fault is mostly vertical with respect to the earth's crust while the motion of the rocks is horizontal. Faults arise from the motion of the earth's crust and upper mantle (plate tectonics) and are classified by the direction of the movement of block against block. The San Andreas fault, located along the western coast of the United States, is an example of a strike-slip fault. Earthquakes, which are common along the San Andreas fault, are caused when the plates of an active fault move rapidly and release energy.

The Strike Slip Fault pendant is 2 cm (0.8 inch) long and 1.3 cm (0.5 inch) wide.

The pendant is 3D printed in14K gold plated brass or sterling silver, finished with a 45 cm/18 inch long gold plated silver chain or silver chain to match, and is ready for gift giving with a gift box, polishing cloth, and care instructions.
