Mushroom jasper cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of mushroom picture jasper, from Arizona. This silicated material is actually a rhyolite, much like rainforest 'jasper', and has a couple small areas of quartz within it. It's named for its similarity to mushrooms, which sounds a lot better than toadstool jasper, eh? Very pretty stuff that's been around for a while, I held off buying any until seeing some in person, now I love it. The many 'shrooms are accented by a neat crimson edging, set against an olive green background. This stone has a well rounded dome of 5mm, and a designer 'spear' shape. Despite the crinkly antiqued look of the pattern, it is finished with a very smooth glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 55x27mm
Weight: approximately 55 carats
