🦖 Gem Dinosaur Bone Slab – Utah Specimen with Calcite Cell Pattern
This authentic gem dinosaur bone slab from Utah features a well-defined fossilized cell structure with calcite-filled chambers. While it doesn’t show the brighter hues some dino bone is known for, the preserved cellular detail makes it a fascinating and scientifically rich specimen. The calcite fill likely formed as bacteria broke down organic material and replaced it with crystallized minerals over time—a beautiful example of natural fossilization in action.
📏 Measurements (inches - longest - approx): 2.5 x 2.3 x 0.24
Gem Dinosaur Bone is the beautifully fossilized, silicated remnant of actual dinosaur remains. These specimens often preserve the original cellular bone structure, with color variations created by trace minerals that replaced the organic material over millions of years. Authentic gem-grade dinosaur bone can be found in locations like Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Morocco—though collection from public lands is now federally prohibited. All of our material is old stock, legally obtained from private land or historical sources.
Lapidary Central guarantees that each piece is 100% genuine dinosaur bone. While we do not issue certification cards, we stand by a permanent authenticity guarantee: if any specimen we sell is ever proven otherwise, we will issue a full refund. We've worked with dinosaur bone for over 20 years and collaborate directly with trusted paleontologists and collectors. This is more than just a stone—it’s a slice of prehistory.
📝 Natural Stone Disclaimer:
All of the stones and fossils offered here are natural materials formed over millions of years through geological and organic processes. As a result, it is completely normal for them to exhibit natural fractures, pits, inclusions, voids, and other surface or internal features that reflect their ancient origins.
These characteristics are not flaws—they are part of what makes each piece unique. We encourage you to review all product photos carefully and research the properties of each material before purchasing to ensure it meets your expectations. If you have any questions about a specific piece, feel free to contact us before ordering.
🖼️ Photo Disclaimer:
To best showcase the color, pattern, and potential of each stone, most photos are taken with the material wet to simulate the appearance of a polished finish. The final photo is taken dry to help highlight any natural surface imperfections such as fractures, pits, or voids. Please review all images carefully before purchasing.
Photos are taken with my monitor set to default display settings to minimize distortion. Colors may vary slightly depending on your screen.
