Dinosaur bone cab ~
Offered here is a LARGE 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 various shades of colorful agate, mostly dark red to reddish brown, with translucent blue. Each cell is framed by a web of the actual cell walls, now jet black with sub-metallic hints in some places, forever frozen in time. There are neat 'cores' within many of the cells, and some even have crystalline centers, making them look like tiny fortified agates, which they are! I left the last photo a bit larger to better illustrate the details; please click the pics to view the closer shots for a genuine visual treat! The cab has a low but well rounded dome of 5mm, and an excellent polish both front and back.
Size: 63x37mm
Weight: approximately 74 carats
