Gembone or dinogem, is a petrified bone of a dinosaur, formed when minerals from groundwater are deposited in the bones. The formation of gembone takes place over a period of millions of years. When a dinosaur dies and its bones end up in the ground, minerals from groundwater can slowly penetrate the bones. In the process, the original organic materials are replaced by minerals. Gembone is among the five gemstones derived from organisms, along with pearls, ammolite, amber and git.
Dinosaur Bone opens avenues of communication and insight, assisting in understanding earth changes, evolution and issues of dominance and endurance. It also stimulates one’s sense of adventure, helping move in new directions with the faith and the strength to understand and make the most of any situation.
These fossils have been attributed to enhancing one’s memory and vigor when worn.
This dinosaur bone were found in the Colorado Basin. Their diverse color palette is the result of the variety of minerals that were present in the sediment in which they were found. Well-known minerals such as agate, quartz and pyrite, as well as opal and calcite, have replaced the original cellular structure of the dinosaur bone. This process transforms the ancient bone into a colorful mineral with a very special history!
