Gem bone dinosaur bone large oval cabochon Unique lapidary polished both sides orange red 20 mm x 41 mm x 6 mm deep. 55.5 top carats.

When I cut and fashion dinosaur bone rough into gemstones, I'm always consumed by a sense of wonder at what it is that I'm working with. Its impressive to me that 65 million years ago this piece of stone was a living organism roaming the earth. It's equally wonderous that nature has perfectly preserved this bone, now a stone, right down to top in some cases, mimicing the cell structure of the inner marrows of the bone.This happens over millions of years, and replaces the organic bone with hard, colorful agate, suitible for making beautiful gems. The vast extent of the unfoldment of this trait in Nature is stupefyiing to me.
