Dinosaur Bone cab ~
Offered here is a 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 translucent blue/gray agate, each framed by webbing that is the actual cell walls, forever frozen in time. Some of the cells are tinged with pink or red, and some with flecks of yellow. And there are some neat 'cores' within many of the cells, making them look like tiny fortified agates, which they are! Please click the pics to view the close-up shots which are more revealing of this stone's true nature. It has a high and well rounded dome of nearly 8mm, and an excellent glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 45x20mm
Weight: approximately 47 carats
