This is a gorgeous Indonesian polished cab/palmstone of fossilized coral, 18.55 grams and 2” by 1.35” by 0.4”. She is in shades of rich gold and the circles are the cross-sections of the well-distant past live coral and are obvious on both sides. I call this a cab/palmstone as she is curved on both sides so can be used for either purpose. The composition is silicon dioxide … agate. Fossilized coral is actually an agate (or chalcedony replacement of the coral) and can be 20 million years old or older … so no modern corals were harmed in the making of this cab. The process is similar to the formation of petrified wood with chalcedony replacing the ancient tree organics.
