Description
~ Butterfly wing jasper cab ~

Offered here is a cabochon of butterfly wing jasper, from Mexico. This long time favorite brecciated jasper (actually a rhyolite) is a much sought after classic, and a favorite in my studio. This wild example was cut from grand old material, quite colorful too, including pink, raspberry, mauve and maroon, with dabs of slate blue, gold and green. The smoky agate filling between is nicely translucent, adding an interesting dimension of depth. Any odd lines are either totally and naturally healed or simply part of the pattern, so this one's ready to take part in your next masterpiece. The cab has a low rounded dome of 4.5, a versatile teardrop shape, and a smooth glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 48x24mm
Weight: approximately 42 carats
