Parrot wing jasper cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of old stock parrot wing jasper, from Mexico. This delightful jasperized chrysocolla is becoming very difficult to find, unlike the more common copper complexes so often substituted for it and erroneously dubbed 'parrot wing'. Look around, you'll see what I mean. This is the genuine article, folks. It features bright shades of turquoise blue to blue-green, with patches of red, cream, and yellow. Nice ribbon of green malachite too. It's every bit as vivid as the photos depict, perhaps a bit moreso. I really enjoy cabbing this classic material for use in my own jewelry; it's strikingly hued, very solid, and there's seldom any difficulty achieving a smooth, glossy shine. The cab has a high rounded dome of 6mm, and a versatile designer shape that's polished both front and back.
Size: 54x19mm
Weight: approximately 72 carats
