Description
~ Fossil coral cab ~

Offered here is an extraordinary cabochon of ancient fossilized coral, from Indonesia. This fascinating material is particularly well silicated, with a unique pattern and saturated colors. It is composed of the highly silicated fossil remains of colonial sea coral, many millions of years old! This particular stone has only a few yellow and orange 'flowers', and it is beautifully gemmy and translucent, as the backlit photo illustrates. In addition, it has several unusual tubes that are bunched together, and a pool of crystalline quartz. Awesome! The cab has a well rounded dome of 5mm, a sleek designer shape, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 50x29mm
Weight: approximately 39 carats
