The Scottish Terrier, as implied by its name, has its origins in Scotland and was bred to be a serious working farm dog. For centuries they were bred to hunt and exterminate vermin.

It has been said that Scottie dogs are a reflection of Scotland and the Scottish people - independent, courageous, loyal, dignified, reserved, and big beyond their physical size.

Marcasite, (derived from the Arabic word for pyrite), is a common, pale bronze-colored mineral and has been called the "black diamond." Marcasite is a polymorph of pyrite which means that it has the same chemistry as pyrite but that has a different structure.

Women throughout history have prized its distinctive shine in the form of jewelry.

We are pleased to offer this Marcasite Scottie Dog pin as tribute to a lively breed.
