Description
~ Parrot wing jasper cab ~

Offered here is a cabochon of old stock parrot wing jasper, from Mexico. This delightful jasperized chrysocolla is a long time favorite, and this unique example has pretty much all the classic colors in one stone. That includes nice bright shades of blue-green, red, yellow, white, deep burgundy, and flecks of lime green. It's every bit as vivid as the photos depict, perhaps a bit moreso. I really enjoy cabbing this classic material for use in my own jewelry; it's strikingly hued, very solid, and there's seldom any difficulty achieving a smooth, glossy shine. The cab has a low rounded dome of 4.5mm, and a crisp designer 'spear' shape that's well polished both front and back.

Size: 50x21mm
Weight: approximately 38 carats
