Malawi blue agate cab ~
Offered here is a delicious cabochon of Malawi blue agate, also known as blue chalcedony, from Africa. The price of rough material this nice has skyrocketed in recent years, but I'd buy it anyway, if only I could FIND any! The Turkish stuff just doesn't hold a candle to the Malawi material, in my opinion. This stone features lovely translucent blue coloration, along with some ghostly wisps of banding toward the edges. The highly polished shape causes light to bounce around wonderfully in this stone, and at certain angles, it does appear to have some interesting adularescence. It's almost opalescent, and certainly very gemmy! Like a lot of blue agates, this stone tends to be moody, appearing even more intense and deeper in color when viewed in low lighting. It has a high rounded dome of 7mm, a sweet designer shape, and a brilliant glassy polish both front and back.
