TN Paint Rock agate cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of Paint Rock agate, from the so-called 'Strawberry Patch' area in Tennessee. It takes its name from that locale, and does indeed bear some resemblance to strawberries. This treasured old time agate is quite a rarity; in fact, I've only seen a handful of pieces of it in the last 45 years, not counting pictures, and no cabs at all, ever! Anyway, this unique stone has excellent coloration, and it's packed with tiny orange/pink orbs, seemingly floating in a translucent agate background. The backlit photo reveals its gemmy nature, so please be sure to click to enlarge the pics to full size. Just fascinating!! It has a sweet designer 'guitar pick' shape, a high rounded dome of 6.5mm, and is polished to a brilliant shine both front and back.
Size: 35x31mm
Weight: approximately 56 carats
