Polka dot agate cab ~
Offered here is a unique cabochon of Priday polka dot agate, which hails from Oregon. This old stock material is a pleasure to work with, and never fails to cut extraordinary stones. This example has an intricate pattern composed of clusters of tan with black dots on one side, and abstract shapes of golden tan and red and tan on the other. The figures stand out in sharp contrast against the bluish white down the center. In hand, you'll notice that the seemingly black areas and the many dots are sub-metallic, exhibiting a silvery sheen much like gun metal does, which I attempted to illustrate in the last photo, aided by reflected light. The stone is cut in a crisp designer 'keystone' shape with a nicely rounded dome of 5mm, and a smooth glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 34x28mm
