Apache gold cab ~
Offered here is an eye catching designer cabochon of 'Apache Gold', from Arizona, not to be confused with pulsite, which is common by comparison. I'm told this classic old timey material is composed of black serpentine with inclusions of golden pyrite, completely mined out long ago. As you can see, this one's loaded with metallics, a lot like buffed brass, and the shiny gold stands out in super contrast against the jet black, for a rich look like no other. This is another of those tough to photograph materials, because it's next to impossible to get all the golden areas to reflect at once; in reality, that's just what they do. The crisp diamond shaped cab has a nicely high rounded dome of 6mm, and despite a seemingly bumpy surface, it is quite smooth, with a super glossy polish both front and back.
Size: 50x25mm
Weight: approximately 58 carats
