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 subtle curtain pattern. It is a study in various pastel shades of pink, dusty rose, old yellowed ivory and rust, with a band of pale blue. Please note: There is are a few voids and stress marks on the backside, as shown, the largest of which is about 4mm across; apparently one orb took a separate vacation... It won't affect setting the cab in any way. The stone has a well rounded dome of 6mm, an elongated catseye shape, and a brilliantly glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 72x20mm
Weight: approximately 65 carats
