Brazilian agate cab ~
Offered here is a remarkable cabochon of top shelf banded agate, from Brazil. This large and striking example was cut from a prized old stock nodule, and features a fabulous array of bands in hues of blue and orange, interspersed with clear and subtly milky bands. When backlit the colors are even more brilliant, and there is a wee hint of irising I didn't expect in a cab so thick. Also within the stone are some odd dark patches along the edge, with various sizes of holes in them; please click up the backlit photo to see them best. It has a nicely rounded dome of 6mm, a designer 'leaf' shape, and a great glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 63x22mm
Weight: approximately 48 carats
