Dinosaur bone cab ~
Offered here is a gemmy 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 a lovely blue agate. Each cell is framed by a web of the actual cell walls, now a reddish brown, forever frozen in time. There are some neat 'cores' within many of the cells, making them look like tiny fortified agates, which they are! The stone is also surprisingly translucent, the most collectible and sought after variety; please click the pics to view the closer shots for a genuine visual treat! The cab has a low but well rounded dome of 5mm, and an excellent glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 51x26mm
Weight: approximately 51 carats
Price: SOLD See current gemstones for sale
