Apache jasper cab ~
Offered here is a scenic cabochon of Apache jasper, actually a rhyolite, also known as Mimbres Valley jasper since it's found there in New Mexico. This fabulous material has awesome dendritic details, which call to mind a rather southwest flavor. Depending upon how you orient the stone, its sagebrush figures look much like the deserts of the legendary old west, in pleasant shades of maroon, cream and dusty pink. It should provide plenty of inspiration for the design of your next masterpiece. The stone has a well rounded dome of 5mm, and unlike a lot of the lesser quality material, this one took an excellent polish both front and back.
Size: 43x15mm
Weight: approximately 24 carats
