Dinosaur Bone

 Cabbed Gemstones | 1 |


The word Dinosaur means "fearfully-great lizard". Originally defined so by Richard Owen in 1842.  The Greek word "deinos", when used as a superlative, means "fearfully-great". It became simplified over time,  to mean "terrible". 

Dinosaur bone has long been used for ornamentation. When polished it shows many colors as well as cell structure. It is popular as a gemstone for use in jewelry.
