Dinosaur Bone cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of fossilized dinosaur bone, from Utah. This highly silicated material is many millions of years old, a marvelous example of the natural preservation of our earth's ancient, extinct 'thunder lizards'. Over millennia, the cells in this fossil bone have been completely replaced with various shades of bluish agate, with a blush of pink here and there. Each cell is framed by a web of the actual cell walls, now a deep maroon, forever frozen in time. There are some neat 'cores' within some of the cells, a few of which are translucent, as well as a partical bullseye in at least one; please click the pics to view the closer shots for a visual treat! The cab has a well rounded dome, and an excellent glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 50x16mm
Weight: approximately 33 carats
