Carnelian cab ~
Offered here is a sweet cabochon of fiery Oregon carnelian, also known as orange chalcedony. It features juicy translucent orange and crimson coloration, with a nice display of the internal 'cornflakes' so sought after by collectors. I did what I could to capture the beautiful 'flakes inside this stone, but the intense color tends to wash them out. The backlit picture reveals them fairly well, so please be sure to click it up to full size. I think this stone is nicer than these photos show, and believe me, carnelian with such strong coloration is none too easy to come by these days! The cab has a well rounded dome of 4.5mm, an elegant designer shape, and an excellent glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 50x23mm
Weight: approximately 28 carats
