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 spendy and hard to get. Horn corals are actually ancient sea life, and you can clearly see the organic nature of this once-living coral retained in the agate. It has the classic 'radiating spoke' figure, in translucent shades of reddish orange and coral pink. A close look reveals it also has some teensy bullseye patterns, as well as neat veils of agate beneath the surface. The stone has a low rounded dome of 4mm, a plump teardrop shape, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 33x24mm
Weight: approximately 27 carats
