Purple Agatized Dinosaur Bone Pendant
This is a stunning pendant made from 150 million year old, purple, agatized dinosaur bone was handcrafted in Utah. The polished bone is 1.5 inches tall and the pendant has a total length of 1.8 inches. The internal cell structure of the dinosaur bone can clearly be seen. Only high grade, gem quality bone was used in the pendants.
The bone may have come from any of the dinosaurs found in the Morrison Formation including Allosaurus, Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Camarasaurus, Diplodocus, Stegosaurus, and Torvosaurus. It was collected this past summer from a private quarry near Dinosaur, CO. While the quarry has produced articulated specimens of several species of dinosaurs over the past few years there is a layer above the quarry which produces beautiful, disassociated chunks of agatized bone.

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.
