Description
~ Royal imperial jasper cab ~

Offered here is a deluxe 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 ridiculously fancy pattern in this remarkable stone is composed of orbs of various sizes stacked one atop another. It is a study in various pastel shades of blue-gray and minty blue-greens, with whitish orbs providing strong contrast, plus plenty of nuanced shading. There's a band of peach and orange colored edging around most of the perimeter, too, and the flip side is outrageously beautiful as well. There is an odd fuzzy line across the central orb, and other stray lines in the pattern that are fairly typical of this material, but they're not overly distracting. It's a rare treasure anyone would be proud to own! The stone has a well rounded dome of 6mm, a plump designer drop shape, and a brilliantly glassy polish both front and back.
