Dinosaur bone cab ~
Offered here is a large cabochon cut from 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 replaced with bright reddish-orange silica. Each beautifully fortified cell is framed by a web of the actual cell walls, deep brown in color, forever frozen in time. The only flaws I can find are a two pinpoint vugs on the backside, 'though I doubt you'll find them at all distracting; this one's ready for your best creations. This bright crimson is a most sought-after hue, and is certainly one of my personal favorites; no doubt you'll love it, too! Please click the pics to view the closer shots. The stone has a high rounded dome of 7mm, a graceful designer drop shape, and a super smooth glassy polish both front and back.
