Carnelian cab ~
Offered here is a designer cabochon of fiery Oregon carnelian, also known as orange chalcedony. It features juicy translucent cherry-orange coloration, with a gorgeous display of the internal 'cornflakes' so sought after by collectors. I tried my best to capture the beautiful 'flakes inside this stone, and was doing pretty good until attempting a backlit picture, which shows very little of the beauty that's actually present. The stone is MUCH nicer than the photos, and believe me, carnelian with this vividly rich color is none too easy to come by these days! Most show color only on the outside of the rough pieces, in a thin layer of rind. Not this one, it's vibrance is through and through, and the agate shows a banded primary pattern as well. The cab has a very high rounded dome of 6mm, a gracefully smoothed shape, and an excellent glassy polish, slick as can be, both front and back.
Size: 41x24mm
Weight: approximately 46 carats
Price: SOLD Current gemstones for sale $59.00
