Dinosaur bone cab ~
Offered here is large and impressive 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 a striking shade of brilliant reddish-orange silica. Each cell is framed by a web of the actual cell walls, now jet black in color, forever frozen in time. A close look reveals that a few cells have subtle fortifications. Gem bone in this saturated crimson hue is most sought-after by collectors and designers alike, 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 6.5mm, and a bold designer shape that's polished both front and back.
