Horse Canyon doublet ~
Offered here is a doublet cabochon of rare Horse Canyon agate, from California, cut by my son Christopher. This most famous type of moss agate is arguably some of the prettiest and rarest there is. Sadly, the area where it comes from is all private and closed, so there's been no collecting for some years now. This unique cab is a study in subtlety, with ghostly mossy tendrils afloat in a highly translucent agate base that allows the jet black basenite backing to peek through. The lone plume of pastel green, along with the other smaller plumes, calls up the illusion of enchanted mountain spires in some fantasy land. Kinda cool! It has a high and well rounded dome of 6+mm, a graceful designer 'flame' shape, and it is polished to a glassy brilliance both front and back.
Size: 46x26mm
Weight: approximately 50 carats
