Horn Coral cab ~
Offered here is a magnificent cabochon of fossilized red horn coral, from Utah. I've heard the old collecting site is closed, so that explains why the good stuff has become so difficult to obtain, and rather spendy too, these past years. 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 rich reddish orange and pink shades. A close look reveals it also has a couple teensy bullseyes and some fortification patterns. This extra gemmy example is nicely translucent too, shown off in a good large sized designer shape that's far more attractive than the usual boring rounds and ovals. Front and center for this one! The stone has a rounded dome of 5mm, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 33x21mm
Weight: approximately 35 carats
