Queensland agate cab ~
Offered here is a dandy cabochon of Queensland agate, from Australia's famous Agate Creek agate beds. This splendid stone is accented by swirling bands of crimson red and white, which stand out nicely in a purplish gray background. For some reason, the camera washed out a bit of the purplish color, and I see the stone is deeper, darker and more alive in hand. I'm told the brilliant colors in these Down Under agates is due to the presence of iron, setting them apart from many of their plainer cousins. This one's a beauty! It has a a nicely rounded dome of 5mm, a versatile ovoid shape, and a fabulously glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 35x23mm
Weight: approximately 34 carats
