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 really appreciate this ancient and unusual material. It is composed of the highly silicated fossil remains of colonial sea coral, many millions of years old. It typically has an unmistakeable one-of-a-kind pattern of flower-like starbursts, hence the name 'flowers of the sea', as it is sometimes known. This example has an extra large pattern of flowers in cream and golden coloration. The cab has a well rounded dome of 6.5mm, a bold designer 'spear' shape, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 51x25mm
Weight: approximately 58 carats
Price: SOLD See current gemstones for sale
