Red Horn Coral fossil gem calibrated heart cab 9/24/2017 01
- 20 x 20 x 4.7 mm (calibrated) - 14 carats - Here is one of
a very small number of calibrated heart shaped cabs I've
cut. A lovely little gem of the rare fossil coral that comes
from the top of a mountain in Utah. Dug and cut by me, this
stone has beautiful colors and patterns with a nicely
rounded medium domed front, girdled sides and a flat beveled
back all with excellent high gloss luster. This is possibly
the best 20 mm heart shaped cab of this material I've cut to
date. If not, it's one of my favorite. This stone is
calibrated to fit a 20 mm standard sized or pre-made jewelry
setting. I rarely cut hearts but with all the crazy going on
in the world I felt like wearing my heart... uh... in a
cabochon... I think you get me. Here's a video clip to see
this sweet stone in motion:
