Pietersite cab ~
Here is an extra large and deluxe cabochon of old stock pietersite, from Africa. This stone features bright gold and midnight blue chatoyancy in an intriguing harlequin pattern that shifts and changes as the stone is turned; just as one winks off, another lights up, though that quality is mighty tough to illustrate in one dimensional photos. It's much more lively and captivating in hand, not as dark as these pictures depict.
I was a bit surprised to find there are a few translucent areas in this stone, places where wisps of chatoyant tigereye are suspended in clear agate, turning the agate blue, and adding a neat dimension of depth. Amazing! The stone has a well rounded dome of nearly 6mm, a sleek designer shape, and a fine glassy polish both front and back. And my per carat price for a stone of this quality is a steal!
Size: 60x20mm
Weight: approximately 47 carats
