Description
~ Royal imperial jasper cab ~

Offered here is a LARGE & splendidly unique cabochon of royal imperial jasper, from Mexico. This collectible 'ojitos' (little eyes) material is the very best of the best, and thankfully, I just lucked into a huge old horde of outstanding rough nodules so I can continue to share them with you. The pattern in this remarkable stone is composed of orbs stacked atop one another, and there is also a more subtle curtain pattern. It is a study in various pastel shades of teal with charcoal shading, plus mauve and even a hint of lavender in one orb. Bands of light and deep lime edging around some of the perimeter, too. The stone has a well rounded dome of 5mm, an elongated drop shape, and a brilliantly glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 57x21mm
Weight: approximately 54 carats
