Red/Orange, Agatized Dinosaur Bone (Gembone) Earrings

This is a pair of beautiful, red & orange, earrings hand crafted from 150 million year old, agatized dinosaur bone (gembone) by master stone craftsman, Kenneth Kolb. The amazingly agatized cell structure of the bone creates fantastic patterns when polished.

This may have come from any of the dinosaurs found in the Morrison Formation including Allosaurus, Apatosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Camarasaurus, Diplodocus, Stegosaurus, and Torvosaurus.

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.
