Royal Sahara jasper cab ~
Offered here is an interesting cabochon of Royal Sahara jasper, cut from material that was discovered a few years back in the form of nodules in the North African Sahara desert. This porcelain jasper is often has scenic figure reminiscent of Oregon's Biggs and Deschutes jaspers, even though it originated on the other side of the planet, with very similar patterns and colors. No wonder; all three jaspers are said to be composed of silicified mud! This example has rich ochres & browns that compose a stylized impressionistic scene, complete with dendritic foliage. This stone has a well rounded dome of 5mm, a plump designer drop shape, and a brilliantly glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 34x29mm
Weight: approximately 45 carats
