Covellite cab ~
Offered here is large, deluxe cabochon of covellite, a RARE heavyweight metallic ore of copper from the Leonard mine near Butte, Montana. This awesome, super reflective stone features the classic deep, rich cobalt blue coloration, with a lighter moire-like pattern, and patches of shiny metallic pyrite. It also has several areas of the very desireable rosy-fuschia flash, although that phenomenon is only visible at certain angles. In hand, you'll probably be astounded by the cab's hefty weight; it's surprisingly heavy for its size. This one ought to make an outstanding heirloom piece of jewelry, no doubt, or a soon-to-be favorite in your collection of ultra-rarities. It has a well rounded dome of 5.5mm, and a gracefully fluid designer drop shape. Despite a few minor voids so often typical of this material, the cab is finished with a brilliantly gleaming polish both front and back.
