Inferno agate cab ~
Offered here is a large and intriguing cabochon of the new inferno agate, an awesome Mexican arrival fresh from this year's Tucson shows. I'm told this material comes from the Laguna agate claims, and I am amazed by the many beautiful variations of its patterns. This example has a fascinating display of flame-like plumes and mosses in a very appropriate shades of crimson-orange to coral. There's translucent agate in the spaces between the tendrils, with countless tiny beads suspended in those depths, flowing and pooling within them. Some plumes are framed by unusual 'studded' fortifications in velvety yellow, and include some eerie floating tubes. Backlit, the agate is warmly translucent, butterscotch yellow in color. It's absolutely gorgeous stuff! And already I'm wishing for more. There are some tiny pits present, which seem typical of this agate, but I don't think you'll find them overly distracting. The cab has a generously high rounded dome of 7mm, a crisp designer 'teardrop' shape, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.
