Horn Coral cab ~
Offered here is a magnificent cabochon of fossilized horn coral, from Utah's Uinta mountains. I've heard the old collecting area is closed, so that explains why the good stuff has become so hard to get. 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 reddish orange, off-white, and deep coral pink. A close look reveals it also has some teensy bullseye patterns in the center. Nicely translucent too. The stone has a low rounded dome of 4mm, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 33x25mm
Weight: approximately 35 carats
Price: SOLD See current gemstones for sale
