Cherry Creek jasper cab ~
Offered here is a new material called Cherry Creek jasper, which hails from China. I'm told only a relatively small quantity was brought to the U.S., so I feel lucky to have snagged a few of the very prettiest slabs available. I've only cut a few cabs from this material, and it looks like a winner to me. The background is a warm golden mango color, with rich chocolate brown webbing and streaks, and some subtle shadings of blue and olive green. Then there are several reddish and jet black slashes too. It certainly cuts artistic cabs, very striking in some ways, and I think this one will make an outstanding item of jewelry. The stone has a well rounded dome of 5.5mm, a designer 'teardrop' shape, and a glossy polish both front and back.
Size: 51x23mm
Weight: approximately 53 carats
