Cherry Creek jasper cab ~
Offered here is a new material called Cherry Creek jasper, which hails from China. I'm told only a relatively small quantity was brought to the U.S., so I feel lucky to have snagged a few of the very prettiest slabs available. This is the first cab I've cut, or have even seen! Looks like a winner to me. The background is a delicious mango color, with blushes of a darker reddish orange and some lovely blue to blue-greens. Against that is a contrasting pattern of chocolate slashes, some of which have an interesting silvery sub-metallic sheen. It's very artistic stuff, to say the least, and I think it'll make an outstanding item of jewelry. The stone has a nicely rounded dome of 6mm, a crisp designer 'diamond' shape, and a glossy polish both front and back.
