Petrified palm root cab ~
Offered here is an unusual collector's cabochon of birdseye petrified palm root, newly arrived GEM material from Sumatra. This outstanding fossil wood is a fascinating piece of the earth's natural history. This example has a remarkable pattern of windblown tendrils and eyes that stand out nicely against jet black, showing a variety of woodgrain. There are also several small jagged pools of translucent bluish agate toward the pointed end. Plenty of contrast here, very unique! No fossil collection is complete without a nice example of this amazing new palm root. But it ought to make a fabulous item of jewelry too. -smile- The cab has a well rounded dome of 6mm, an elegant designer 'flame' shape, and a brilliant polish both front and back.
