Royal imperial jasper cab ~
Offered here is a distinguished 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 intriguing example features a cluster of artistically arranged orbs, in an attractive combination of blended pink, mauve, and brown. There are also blushes of blue in the central area, and some dark greens in the background. The stone is edged with a band of rusty orange that runs all the way around, containing the pattern nicely. The backside also has a beautiful egg pattern, so an open-backed setting would be just the thing. The stone has a well rounded dome of 6mm, a smooth elongated 'egg' shape, and a super glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 44x20mm
Weight: approximately 44 carats
