Dude, that is AWESOME. Two of my favourite things - fossils and computer bits.

This has got to be my favorite style of the stone and circuit board pendants! I think there is a lot of meaning to be had by combining the two, and they match so well together!

Is it possible that you could one day make a tutorial for how you do this? I would love to learn how to seal off the boards.

uh i have a cutting tutorial on facebook in pictures.. seal off? the resin i use is a one part UV epoxy thats pretty easy to use.. the sealer for the flat based things is an acrylic lacquer made by DuPont usually used for automotive applications.

lol Sorry, I haven't dabbled in this realm of recycled arts yet so my terminology is horrible!
But how you explain it, it seems that using the resin is a fairly simple thing to learn...over time and practice of course! I'd love to give it a shot one day! Thanks for the insight.

the epoxy resin by Lisa Pakliva isn't hard at all to use, just rather expensive. for most people it makes beautiful domes and cabochons but i usually have to file and carve it to get the final product. there is a buffing polish designed just for resin, plastics and acrylic that i use as well.
