Description
~ Red horn coral cab ~

Offered here is a magnificent cabochon of fossilized horn coral, from Utah. Horn corals are actually ancient sea life, and you can clearly see the organic nature of this once-living coral in the highly translucent agate. It has the classic 'radiating spoke' figure, in coral pink, orange chiffon, and a bit of red. And it also has some neat fortifications and teensy bullseye patterns, as well as swirling veils of agate beneath the surface. Nicely translucent too, shown off in an extra large size with a shape that's certainly more attractive than the boring rounds and ovals more often cut. Front and center for this one! The stone has a nicely rounded dome of nearly 6mm, and a fine glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 34x32mm
Weight: approximately 45 carats
