Indonesian orbicular river jasper cab ~
Offered here is a large collector's cabochon of orbicular river jasper, cut from a large boulder found in Indonesian. Not much of this material was ever found, and I have to admit that very little of what I've seen is too impressive. But this one is WOW! It bears a remarkably close resemblance to Madagascar's ocean jasper, but generally seems to have smaller orbs. This stone is a truly outstanding example, with a fabulous display of multi-ringed bullseyes and orbs in a variety of colors. Mostly pink, rose and golden yellow. They stand out well against a background composed of a translucent blend of agate and quartz, including some that has a greenish tint, allowing a view of the many MANY spherules suspended within. There are a couple of small drusy pockets adding sparkle to the character of the stone, and others beneath the surface. This unique beauty is one that anyone would be proud to own, either set to wear as jewelry, or just to feature in one's collection. The stone has a well rounded dome of 6mm, and a plump designer teardrop shape, polished both front and back.
