Description
~ Royal imperial jasper cab ~

Offered here is a cabochon of royal imperial jasper, from Mexico. This collectible 'ojitos' (little eyes) material is the very best of the best, and thankfully, I lucked into 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 of various sizes stacked one atop another, much like ripples in a pond. It is a study in various pastel shades of teal and sky blues, with attractive contrast and nuanced shading. There's a band of avocado green edging around most of the perimeter, too, with creamy old ivory surrounding that, in turn. It's a rare beauty anyone would be proud to own! The stone has a well rounded dome of 6mm, a versatile designer 'bullet' shape, and a brilliantly glassy polish both front and back. Please note there is a small void on the back, near the short edge.

Size: 44x14mm
Weight: approximately 35 carats
