Fossil coral cab ~
Offered here is a large deluxe cabochon of fossilized coral, from Indonesia. Recently I read that there's next to no fossil coral being found these days, as the deposits have all been depleted. Anyway, this unique example features several fancy white blooms that practically leap out of their backdrop of golden wheat shades. Even without enlarging the pics, one can clearly see the stone's unmistakeable one-of-a-kind pattern of flower-like starbursts. Hence the name 'flowers of the sea', as it is sometimes known. It is actually composed of the highly silicated fossil remains of colonial sea coral, many millions of years old! Please click the pics to see every intricate detail. This cab has a high rounded dome of 6mm, a versatile designer 'lozenge' shape, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 50x16mm
Weight: approximately 53 carats
Price: $59.00
