Pinolith cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of pinolith, from a small manganese quarry in Austria's Turen Mountains. I really like the absract flower-petal patterns in this unusual material. I'm told it is quite rare, and have seen a few small slabettes sell for ridiculously high prices. Its hardness is rather on the softer side, very much like crinoid marble, though I don't imagine that'll pose any problem in most every day jewelry. The stone has a low rounded dome of 5mm, a crisp designer 'spear' shape, and it is nicely polished both front and back.
Size: 45x29 mm
Weight: approximately 40 carats
