Royal imperial jasper cab ~
Offered here is an extraordinary cabochon of Imperial jasper, from Mexico. This collectible 'ojitos' material is simply wonderful stuff, another member of the fine grained porcelain jasper family I love so much. (Ojitos means little eyes in Spanish.) This extra PRIMO example features an artful orbicular pattern in pleasing shades of teal blues, both light and dark, which is far less common than most other colors. The orby pattern fits the shape of the stone quite well, and there are splashes of contrasting rusty orange, olive, avocado, and mauve, with hints of lavender in the feathery figures at one side. The backside is beautiful too, so an open back setting would be super. The cab has a rounded dome of 5mm, a versatile designer shape, and a super glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 38x30mm
Weight: approximately 52 carats
Price: SOLD See current gemstones for sale
