Description
~ Black River agate cab ~

Offered here is a superbly dramatic cabochon of Black River agate, from Argentina. Fresh from this year's Quartzite show, and new to my shop, came a parcel of hand-selected agates. Mighty fun cutting, I must say! This gorgeous shadow agate came from the very first nodule I sliced. It boasts a plethora of super fine fortification bandings showing crazy parallax effect, ie. the bands seem to wiggle open and closed as the stones is moved. It also has excellent contrast, reminding me of some Lake Superior agates I have known and loved, but with an oddly attractive greenish-yellow undertone. Truly a keeper! The cab has a high rounded dome of 7mm, a gracefully curved designer drop shape, and it is polished to a glassy brilliance both front and back.

Size: 48x26mm
Weight: approximately 63 carats
