Variscite cab ~
Offered here is a splendid cabochon of spiderwebbed variscite, from Australia. This is a remarkable example of the exciting material from the new dig, about 100 miles from the previous source. Rather pricey per pound but worth it, I think. It features cool pastel greens that remind me of pistachio ice cream (my favorite), with deeper minty green and grayish areas. It's a deal prettier in hand than these photos show, with more saturated green color. There's also plenty of contrasting tan to brown spiderwebbing, adding to the stone's character and value. It's one gorgeous stone! The cab has a well rounded dome of 5mm, a graceful designer 'flame' shape, and a surprisingly nice polish both front and back.
