Agatized Dinosaur Bone & Gibeon Meteorite Pendant
This is a sterling silver reversible pendant inlaid with gem quality, 150 million year old dinosaur bone on one side and Gibeon Meteorite on the reverse side. The dinosaur bone is a bright red/orange color and has large cells, meaning it came from a theropod (meat eating) dinosaur from the Morison Formation.
This fine piece of jewelry was created by master craftsman Mark Castagnoli who's been creating unique pieces of jewelry for nearly 30 years.
Gibeon is an iron-nickel meteorite that fell in prehistoric times in Namibia. It was named after the nearest town Gibeon, Namibia. The fragments of the meteorite in the strewn field are dispersed over an elliptical area 171 miles long and 62 miles wide. It have been used for centuries by the Nama people to craft tools and weapons. The crystal structure of this meteorite provides a classic example of fine octahedrite and the Widmanstatten pattern is appreciated for its beauty both by collectors and designers of jewelry.

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.
