Crinoidal Limestone palmstones

Crinoidal Limestone palmstones

Small Crinoidal Limestone palmstones - cut from Limestone with a great number of Crinoid fossils inside and lacquered. These palmstones typically measure 30-40MM, a little smaller than most of our palmstone stock.

Due to how soft the material is, these have been lacquered, and are not perfectly smooth like most palmstones.

The lapidary (cutting) and polishing process also changes each piece pretty drastically!

The pictures you see here are representative of the products and are usually not the exact item you will receive. Where various grades are available we do try to photograph each grade - but some photographs are still on their way!
