Imperial cab ~
Offered here is a splendid 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 an attractive orbicular pattern in shades of mauve, green, pink and cream, even including a hint of blue, and in an odd way it reminds me of a Japanese watercolor. The amazing pattern fits the unusual shape of the stone well, and the backside is beautiful too. The stone has a low but nicely rounded dome, and a fine glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 54x11mm
Weight: approximately 16 carats
Price: Sold Current gemstone offerings $48.00
