Malawi blue agate cab ~
Offered here is a gemmy cabochon of Malawi blue agate, also known as blue chalcedony, from Africa. The price of rough material this nice has skyrocketed in recent years, but I'd buy it anyway, if only I could FIND any worthwhile! This example is prettier than shown, with lovely translucent blue coloration, some subtle bands, as well as some interesting dots and clouds here and there. The highly polished shape causes light to bounce around wonderfully in this stone, and at certain angles, it does appear to have some interesting adularescence. It's almost opalescent, and certainly very VERY gemmy! Like a lot of blue agates, this stone tends to be moody, appearing even more intense and deeper in color when viewed in low lighting. It has a high rounded dome of 6mm, a crisp designer shape, and a brilliant glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 39x20mm
Weight: approximately 36 carats
