Dinosaur bone cab ~
Offered here is a 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 translucent gel that has a reddish tint. Each cell is framed by a web of the actual cell walls, now jet black with lacy gray edging, forever frozen in time. There are colorful crimson, red and ghostly blue 'cores' within many of the cells, making them look like tiny fortified agates, which they are! A streak across the stone is filled with unusual crimson red dots, and the stone is also surprisingly translucent, despite its extra generous thickness; please click the pics to view the closer shots for a genuine visual treat! The cab has a high and well rounded dome of 7mm, a plump designer drop shape, and an excellent glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 49x29mm
Weight: approximately 77 carats
