Royal imperial jasper cab ~
Offered here is a large & splendidly unique cabochon of royal imperial jasper, from Mexico. This collectible 'ojitos' (little eyes) material is the very best of the best, and thankfully, I have a huge old horde of outstanding rough nodules so I can continue to share them with you. The pattern in this remarkable stone is composed of orbs stacked one atop the next, and there is also a more subtle curtain pattern. It is a study in various pastel shades of teal with darker charcoal-teal shading, even a hint of lavender. A band of avocado green edging around some of the perimeter, too. The backside is outrageously beautiful as well, but I opted to face up the strong EYE pattern that seems as if it's looking right backatcha; an open backed setting would be just the thing to show off *both* sides. The stone has a well rounded dome of 5mm, an elongated drop shape, and a brilliantly glassy polish both front and back.
