Questions & Comments

Oh my, why does it glow...?

Ah good question I guess I should have mentioned that. I held a flashlight behind it to demonstrate the color, and opacity of it.

this is so cool..could you make some type of jewlry out of it..can it be cut?

Dec 10th, 2009 at 6:18:04 PM PST by

You certainly can I have made lots of things with them such as earings, pendants and the like. They can be drilled and cut, as long as it is done carefully, and you have a titanium bits.

What are the stone dimensions ?

Dec 13th, 2009 at 8:38:54 PM PST by

I won't have a chance to measure exactly but it's something like an inch long, and 3/8 inch wide maybe.

Dec 14th, 2009 at 6:04:12 PM PST by

So it's orangish without the light?

Dec 13th, 2009 at 10:16:07 PM PST by

Yep, it's very amber colored. Kinda the same color just without it being illuminated.

Dec 14th, 2009 at 6:05:00 PM PST by

And can you see the fossil without shining the light?

Dec 13th, 2009 at 10:16:44 PM PST by

No, it actually turns invisible without light and you won't be able to see it. So when you get an empty box in the mail just shine a light on it and it will appear.

Where do you get these? Are they fragile?

Do you have authentication documentation on this item?

Dec 14th, 2009 at 5:46:05 PM PST by

I can make authentication documentation and sign it if you want. It's certainly real, I found it myself.

Dec 14th, 2009 at 6:09:58 PM PST by

I have a box of others in different sizes and lengths, please specify what dimensions you are looking for and I will attempt to meet your wants/needs.
