Description
~ Fossil coral cab ~

Offered here is a large deluxe cabochon of colorful fossilized coral, from Indonesia. This fascinating example has golden shades with a blush of pink and rosy red, and even without enlarging the pics, one can clearly see the stone's unmistakeable one-of-a-kind pattern of flower-like starbursts. Hence the name 'flowers of the sea', as it is sometimes known. The stone is actually composed of the highly silicated fossil remains of colonial sea coral, many millions of years old! Please click to enlarge the pics to see the intricate details within. This cab has a high rounded dome of 6.5mm, a designer 'flame' shape, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 51x17mm
Weight: approximately 41 carats
