Petrified palm root cab ~
Offered here is an unusual collector's cabochon of birdseye petrified palm root, fabulous GEM material from Sumatra. This outstanding fossil wood is a fascinating piece of the earth's natural history. Half the stone is light tan, and shows a remarkable pattern of windblown eyes, faithfully representing the woodgrain and petioles of the once living palm root. The other half is jet black, with tiny jagged pools of translucent bluish agate. 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 high and well rounded dome of 9mm, a bold designer shape, and a brilliant polish both front and back.
Size: 55x31mm
Weight: approximately 82 carats
