Covellite cab ~
Offered here is LARGE, deluxe cabochon of covellite, a rare heavyweight metallic ore of copper from the Leonard mine near Butte, Montana. This awesome, super reflective stone features the classic deep, rich cobalt blue coloration, with subtle moire-like threads of shiny metallic pyrite, and one splash showing a bit of pyrite's cubic crystalline habit. It also has several areas of the very desireable rosy-purple flash, although that phenomenon is only visible at certain angles. Photos #2 & 3 show just a hint of the stone's brilliant fuschia gleam. In hand, you'll probably be astounded by the cab's hefty weight; it's amazingly heavy for its size. This one ought to make some outstanding heirloom piece of jewelry, no doubt, or a soon-to-be favorite in your collection of ultra-rarities. It has a generously high rounded dome just a hair under 7mm, a whimsical designer 'flame' shape befitting a stone of this calibre, and a bright gleaming polish both front and back.
Size: 56x26mm
Weight: approximately 116 carats
