Malawi blue agate cab ~
Offered here is an absolutely scrumptious cabochon of Malawi blue agate, also known as blue chalcedony, from Africa. The price of rough material this nice has skyrocketed in recent years, but I'd buy it anyway, if only I could FIND any worthwhile! Most of the Turkish stuff doesn't hold a candle to the Malawi material, in my opinion. This stone has the lovely translucent blue coloration I favor most. Its highly polished shape causes light to bounce around beautifully in this stone, and at certain angles, it does appear almost opalescent. Very gemmy! Like a lot of blue agates, this stone tends to be moody, appearing even more intense and deeper in color when viewed in low lighting. It has a high rounded dome of 7mm, a crisp designer shape, and a brilliant glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 36x22mm
Weight: approximately 38 carats
