Royal imperial jasper cab ~
Offered here is an intriguing cabochon of Imperial jasper, 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 shades of dark orange, cream, & blue to blue-gray, the latter being far less common than most other colors, on a brownish background. The orby pattern fits the shape of the stone quite well, and there are contrasting orange splashes at the edges. The backside is beautiful too, with larger blue orbs stacked like coins, so an open back setting would be nice to show them off. The cab has a rounded dome of 7mm, a designer 'flame' shape, and a super glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 43x25mm
Weight: approximately 44 carats
