8.4" Knife With Fossil Dinosaur Bone (Gembone) Inlays
This high-quality hunting knife is a stunning blend of ancient history and expert craftsmanship. Measuring 8.4" in total length with a 3.5" stainless steel blade, it’s designed for both performance and artistic appeal. The handle features inlays of genuine dinosaur gembone—fossilized bone from the 150-million-year-old Morrison Formation of Colorado.
Two distinct colors of gembone are showcased: one in rich brown and red tones, the other in striking shades of purple and blue. Each piece is polished to reveal the fossil’s intricate, cell-like structure, creating a handle that’s as functional as it is visually captivating. Artistically hand-crafted in Utah, this knife is more than a tool—it’s a one-of-a-kind work of natural art forged from the prehistoric past.

About Dinosaur Gembone
Dinosaur gembone, also known as agatized or fossilized dinosaur bone, is a rare and highly prized material formed when the porous structure of dinosaur bone is replaced by silica-rich minerals such as agate, chalcedony, or jasper over millions of years. This fossilization process preserves the intricate internal cell patterns of the original bone, which are often visible as vibrant, web-like structures under the polished surface.
Gembone is typically found in the Morrison Formation of the American West, especially in Utah and Colorado, where Late Jurassic dinosaur remains are common. The resulting stones can display a wide range of striking colors—including reds, browns, purples, blacks, and blues—depending on the specific minerals present during fossilization.
Highly sought after by collectors, lapidary artists, and jewelers, dinosaur gembone is both a geological wonder and a tangible connection to the prehistoric past. Each piece is completely unique, with its own natural patterning and coloration shaped by ancient time and mineral-rich waters.
