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 muted shades of grayish blue to purple agate. The cells are framed by a web of the actual cell walls, now brown and black in color, forever frozen in time. The cells look like tiny fortified agates, which they are! The stone is also surprisingly translucent, despite its thickness; please click the pics to view the details in the closer shots. The cab has a well rounded dome of 5mm, a designer 'bullet' shape, and an excellent glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 48x17mm
Weight: approximately 41 carats
