Description
~ Fossil coral cab ~

Offered here is a cabochon of fossilized coral, from Indonesia. This fascinating material is something they're just not finding much of these days, and that's too bad because I like it alot. 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. It is composed of the highly silicated fossil remains of colonial sea coral, many millions of years old! The stone shows a nice degree of translucence, moreso than the backlit photo reveals. This cab has a well rounded dome of 5mm, a bold designer shape, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 41x37mm
Weight: approximately 41 carats
