Jet, a mineraloid derived from petrified wood, has been used in Britain since the Neolithic Age. Jet jewellery became fashionable in Roman Britain and saw a revival after Queen Victoria wore it as part of her mourning ensemble following the death of Prince Albert. Jet Black, also known as Bunting Black, is an official colour of the British Admiralty.
