Luna agate cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of collectible luna agate, from Mexico. This classic material showed up again at this year's Tucson show, but I haven't been able to determine if this old favorite is being actively mined again or not; I hope so, but meanwhile, I'm just glad to have it! This gemmy, translucent example shows several well defined bullseyes and orbs, along with some lovely fortification banding. The color in luna agate, I am told, comes from fluorite, giving this one delicate lavender and lilac shades. The stone has a well rounded dome of 5.5mm, a crisp designer shape, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 38x29mm
Weight: approximately 45 carats
Price: SOLD See current gemstones for sale
