Royal imperial jasper cab ~
Offered here is an intriguing cabochon of royal 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.) It has a fantastic 'stacked eggs' pattern very similar to that of the best Bruneau Canyon jasper, even though it comes from more than a thousand miles away. It has reddish orange to mauve colors, and a secondary pattern of very subtle diagonal veils often found in this jasper. The figure fits the shape of the stone quite well, and the backside is almost as beautiful with a smaller bundle of orbs. The stone has a high rounded dome of 6mm, a stylized heart shape, and a super glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 34x31mm
Weight: approximately 47 carats
