Royal imperial jasper cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of imperial jasper, a bit different from most, from Mexico. This collectible 'ojitos' material is simply wonderful stuff, another member of the fine grained porcelain jasper family I love so much. (Ojitos means little eyes in Spanish.) This one features an artful orbicular pattern in muted shades of teal blues, both light and dark, which is far less common than most other colors. The figure has an unusual see-through moire quality to it, a bit like crinkly crepe paper, and the backside is beautiful too, so an open back setting would be nice. The cab has a rounded dome of 5mm, a sweet designer 'drop' shape, and a super glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 55x21mm
Weight: approximately 44 carats
