TN Paint Rock agate cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of Paint Rock agate, from the so-called 'Strawberry Patch' area in Tennessee. It takes its name from that locale, and does indeed bear some resemblance to strawberries. This treasured old time agate is quite a rarity; in fact, I've only seen a handful of pieces in the last 45 years, not counting photos, and no cabs at all, ever! Anyway, this unique stone is packed with tiny orange/pink orbs, seemingly afloat in a translucent apricot gel background. There's also faint fortification with a quartz center. The backlit pic reveals its gemmy nature, so please be sure to click to enlarge them to full size. Just fascinating! It has a sweet designer flame shape, a low rounded dome of 4+mm, and is polished to a brilliant shine both front and back.
Size: 40x22mm
Weight: approximately 30 carats
