Dinosaur bone cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of spiderwebbed 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 translucent agate, some of the clearest I've yet seen in fossil bone. Each cell is framed by a sponge-like network of ash blond webs, which is all that's left of the actual cell walls, forever frozen in time. Please click the pics to view the closer shots for a visual treat! The cab has a rounded dome of 4.5mm, a designer teardrop shape, and an excellent glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 47x23mm
Weight: approximately 36 carats
Price: SOLD See current gemstones for sale
