Description
~ Fossil coral cab ~

Offered here is a cabochon of colorful fossilized coral, from Indonesia. This fascinating material is something you don't see too often, particularly in these colors, and I must say I like it alot. Without enlarging the pics, one can clearly see the stone's unmistakeable one-of-a-kind pattern of flower-like starbursts, hence the name 'flowers of the sea', as it is sometimes known. It is composed of the highly silicated fossil remains of colonial sea coral, many millions of years old! This cab has a high rounded dome of 6mm, a gracefully curved designer shape, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 61x23mm
Weight: approximately 54 carats
