Covellite cab ~
Offered here is cabochon of covellite, a rare heavyweight metallic ore of copper from the Leonard mine near Butte, Montana. This super reflective stone features the classic deep, rich cobalt blue coloration, with subtle moire-like threads of shiny metallic pyrite. It also has a touch or two 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 amazingly heavy for its size. There are a few natural voids present, though they're not overly distracting. The stone has a high rounded dome of 7mm, and a brilliantly gleaming polish both front and back.
Size: 30x23mm
Weight: approximately 61 carats
