Chopstick agate~
Offered here is an unusual cabochon of chopstick agate, from China's Gobi desert. This fascinating lattice agate material is brand new to my studio, fresh from this year's Tucson show. After slicing and grinding several pounds of these new stones, this example was one of the most colorful, thus far. (For weeks now I've been trying to add a nice cab to the site, but as soon as I get one finished, a friend or neighbor stops in & buys it!) As you can see, it's loaded with yellowish stick figures going every which way, creating a lattice pattern that very much resembles hoarfrost. The forest green and rust red mosses in between add a nice touch of contrast, making the sticks stand out all the more. I think this new agate will make excellent jewelry, and hope you'll be encouraged to find out. The stone has a high rounded dome of 7mm, a plump designer drop shape, and a fine glassy polish both front and back.
