Imperial jasper cab ~
Offered here is a splendid cabochon of royal 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 example features an artful orbicular pattern in pleasing shades of teal and sky blues, both light and dark, which are far less common than most other colors. There's also a neat blush in pink, yellow and greenish tones through the center. The blue surrounding the orby pattern is edged with a band of old ivory, and fits the shape of the stone quite well. The backside is beautiful too, so an open back setting would be just the thing. The cab has a rounded dome of
5mm, a designer 'flame' shape, and a super glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 54x24mm
Weight: approximately 48 carats
