Description
~ Dinosaur bone cab ~

Offered here is a cabochon of fossilized 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 colorful reddish orange and translucent agate, with a few in gold and blue. The actual cell walls, now tan in color, form a sponge-like lattice that the eye can see down into, giving the stone an appealing dimension of depth. The 'cores' within many of the cells make them look like tiny fortified agates, which they are! Please click the pics to view the closer shots for a genuine visual treat! The cab has a high and well rounded dome of 6mm, a crisp designer 'spear' shape, and an excellent glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 52x21mm
Weight: approximately 48 carats
