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 pink, olive green, cream, & blue to blue-gray, the latter being far less common than most other colors, with splashes of orange at the edges. The orby pattern very much resembles stacked coins, and fits the shape of the stone quite well. The backside is beautiful too, with similar blue orbs, so an open back setting would be nice to show them off. The cab has a rounded dome of 5mm, a designer 'almond' shape, and a super glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 42x26mm
Weight: approximately 49 carats
