Imperial cab ~
Offered here is an intriguing cabochon of Imperial jasper, from Mexico. This collectible 'ojitos' material is simply wonderful stuff, another member of the fine grained porcelain jasper family I love so much. (Ojitos means little eyes in Spanish.) This one features a single neat orb surrounded by avocado green, with the oft seen 'curtain effect and a ghostly halo of pale blue. A background the color of old ivory sets it off nicely. Those odd little flecks of pepper are not flaws, they're actually part of the stone; the backside shows them too. The stone has a well rounded dome of 5mm, a sleek designer shape, and a great glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 49x15mm
Weight: approximately 25 carats
