Horn coral cab ~
Offered here is a magnificent cabochon of fossilized horn coral, from Utah. I've heard the old collecting site is closed, so that explains why the good stuff has become so hard to get. Horn corals are actually ancient sea life, and you can clearly see the organic nature of this once-living coral in the highly translucent agate. It has the classic 'radiating spoke' figure, in reddish orange and deep coral pink. A close look reveals it also has some neat fortifications and teensy bullseye patterns, as well as neat veils of agate beneath the surface. Nicely translucent too, shown off in an extra large size with a half moon shape. Front and center for this one! The stone has a low rounded dome of 5mm, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 34x25mm
Weight: approximately 39 carats
Price: SOLD See current gemstones for sale
