Description

I Whitby er der traditionelt en håndværksmæssig smykke- og prydgenstandes kunsthåndværk, der er baseret på det lokale forekommende guld, Whitby Jet. Det sorte fossil findes omkring klipperne i Whitby og blev allerede brugt i bronzealderen til at lave perler og andre smykker. Romerne udvandt guld i stor stil. Whitby-jet var på toppen af sin popularitet i midten af det 19. århundrede, da dronning Victoria valgte det til sit sørgemode. Guld (gagat) er en organisk amorf mineral. Det handler om et mineraloid, men ikke et mineral. Guld har en sort eller mørkebrun farve og indeholder nogle gange pyrit-internsoul, hvilket giver det en kobberfarve eller metalglans. Efter Prins Alberts død i 1861 iklædte hans enke Dronning Victoria sig i sørge sort. Ved at bære smykker lavet af Whitby-guld sammen med sørgeklæderne gjorde hun i det 19. århundrede denne halvædelsten populær blandt den velhavende klasse.
