Red horn coral cab ~
Offered here is a large, magnificent cabochon of fossilized horn coral, from Utah's Uinta Mountains. Horn corals are actually ancient sea life, and you can clearly see the organic nature of this once-living coral in the highly translucent agate. It has the classic 'radiating spoke' figure, in coral pink and orange chiffon. A closer look reveals that it also has some neat fortifications and teensy bullseye patterns, as well as swirling veils and pools of agate beneath the surface. Nicely translucent too, shown off in an extra large size with a teardrop shape that's certainly more attractive than the boring rounds and ovals more often cut. Front and center for this one! The stone has a generously high and well rounded dome of 7mm, and a fine glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 34x29mm
Weight: approximately 61 carats
