Imperial jasper cab ~
Offered here is a splendid cabochon of Imperial jasper, from Mexico.
This collectible 'ojitos' (little eyes) material is the very best of the best, and thankfully, I just lucked into a huge old horde of outstanding rough nodules so I can continue to share them with you. The pattern in this remarkable stone is composed of orbs stacked atop one another. It is a study in various pastel shades of mauve, pink, olive and forest greens, with the colors becoming darker and/or brighter toward the edges. The large central orb of palest pastel blue does have some odd formation lines, though nothing worse than you find between the bands of polished lace agate; and there is a void on the backside behind that orb. The stone has a well rounded dome of 5mm, a softly rounded egg shape, and a brilliantly glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 69x18mm
Weight: approximately 63 carats
