"The eency weency spider climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out...."

Let's back up a little here. The shed fangs contained within this crystal clear vial pendant didn't come from an 'eency weency' spider. No, these glossy black fangs came from the one and only Theraphosa blondi, otherwise known as the Goliath Bird-Eater tarantula. This species is renowned as the largest spider on the planet, with specimens recorded up to 12 inches across and rumors of an unconfirmed 13 inch specimen.

The black fangs inside the vial came from my very own female Goliath, Ambush. She is only one of my 11 tarantula collection and recently molted, thus providing me with the beautiful shiny fangs used in this necklace. Ambush is currently 9 inches across, if you wondered. :)

Her donated fangs rest on a bed of dry-preserved moss and are accompanied by a chip of green howlite stone, a clear quartz crystal spear, a twig of manzanita, a sprig of dried green fern and a single dandelion seed. A cork closes the vial, and in keeping with the invertebrate theme you'll see a brilliant metallic green-blue beetle wing (Elytra Sternocera) hanging from the cork's eyelet by a set of gunmetal links.

The vial hangs on a 20 inch black chain with lobster clasp. It will come to you gift-boxed, ready for wearing. This would be a fantastic gift for anyone fascinated with spiders, and in many cultures it would be considered a good luck token. The spider is also considered connected to the storyteller in more than one legend; weaving a web = weaving a story.

*No spiders were harmed to obtain those two fangs. All spiders (and tarantulas) grow by shedding their skins much as snakes do, and their shed their old fangs in the process.*
