Description
~ Butterfly wing jasper cab ~

Offered here is a cabochon of butterfly wing jasper, from Mexico. This long time favorite brecciated jasper (actually a rhyolite) is a much sought after classic, and a favorite in my studio. This example was cut from grand old material, mostly dusty rose, with an island of slate blue and yellow surrounded by smoky agate. The pool of smoky agate is nicely translucent, as illustrated by the backlit photo. Any odd lines are either totally and naturally healed or simply part of the pattern, so this one's ready to take part in your next masterpiece. The cab has a well rounded dome of 7mm, a crisp designer 'diamond' shape, and a smooth glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 62x32mm
Weight: approximately 77 carats
