Description
~ Ocean jasper cab ~

Offered here is a large and splendid cabochon of ocean jasper, from Madagascar. Ocean jasper never fails to amaze me with its endless variations! Sadly, there are no plans for any further harvesting at the original source. This cab features a variety of bullseyes & orbs, the largest of which are extra fancy and flower-like. Or rather, like little gears, if you will. A close look reveals that they are surrounded by pseudomorphs of tiny crystals. The greens in them stand out nicely against a background of pastel pink, edged with salmon orange fortifications. The stone has a gemmy translucent quality that I favor, unlike some of its more 'jaspery' brethren. It has a nicely rounded dome of 5mm, a plump designer teardrop shape, and a fine glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 47x29mm
Weight: approximately 51 carats
