Description
~ Crinoid marble cab ~

Offered here is an intriguing cabochon of crinoid marble, ancient material from China. This one is a colorfully crazy patchwork of figures in shades of wine red, pink and cream, in a black background. The truly unique pattern is made up of the stems of fossilized plants called crinoids, which collected on the sea floor and were compressed into solid marble over millenia. Amazing stuff! No marble or fossil collection is complete without some crinoid marble, and this cab would be a fascinating centerpiece in any type of jewelry creation you can imagine. It has a very high rounded dome of 6mm, an elegant designer drop shape, and a slick glossy polish both front and back.

Size: 46x24mm
Weight: approximately 38 carats
