Stone bow ties

Stone bow ties are made of the material found in the earth's crust in Estonia. All bow ties are made of sedimentary rocks, which complicates a suitable basic material sourcing. The biggest obstacle is the cracks that are revealed when the stone dried or processed. Stone bow tie, minus a half, unlike the fabric or wood bow ties, is the flexural strength of weak rock.

Limestone bow tie

Bow ties have modest pattern during the sedimentation in the mud moved worms exploits. Limestone is the national stone of Estonia.

Graptolitic argillite bow tie

Graptolitic argillite is hardened claystone mixed with organic matter. Therefore, bow tie has uniform brown color.

Burned Graptolitic argillite bow tie

On bow tie can be seen deformation which occurred during burning. Red color is pure burnt claystone. Black color is from pyrite, which is inside graptolitic argillite.

Gravel bow tie

The bow tie has been made from gravel pebbles, which are glued together. As the gravel is debris, then every stone has its pattern. Bow tie includes both sediment and metamorphic pebbles.
