Wave Hill agate cab ~
Offered here is a cab of Wave Hill agate, from Australia's Northern Territory. It's not often that a 'new' material becomes an instant favorite of mine, but this exceptional agate won my heart straight away. Everyone who sees it is impressed! When Terry Maple spied these agates at this year's Tucson show, he bought the entire lot! Bless his heart for sending some fine little nodules home for me to enjoy! Please take a good look at the details in this stone and you'll see why I'm so excited about this outstanding agate. It has gorgeous fortification banding in reddish coral and various pastels of pink, alternating with clear. The unusual core appears to be almost mossy, and most of the stone is at least somewhat translucent. Yes indeedy, this splendid agate is certainly intriguing stuff! The uniqueness of each Wave Hill agate makes it a lapidary's fantasy, a collector's MUST HAVE, and I have no doubt it'll be a jewelry designer's best friend. It's YUMMY, and then some! This cab has a low but nicely rounded dome of 5mm, and a great glassy polish both front and back.
