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 colorful agate, in red, blue and clear. Each cell is framed by a web of the actual cell walls, now jet black with a metallic hint in some places, forever frozen in time. There are neat 'cores' within many of the cells, and some even have crystalline centers, making them look like tiny fortified agates, which they are! The stone is also surprisingly translucent, despite its extra generous thickness; please click the pics to view the closer shots for a genuine visual treat! The cab has a high and well rounded dome of 7mm, and an excellent glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 37x21mm
Weight: approximately 51 carats
