Royal imperial jasper cab ~
Offered here is a large, deluxe collector's cabochon of royal imperial jasper, from Mexico. This most prized '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 extra fancy pattern in this remarkable stone is composed of orbs of various sizes stacked one atop and in front of another. It is a study in various pastel shades of teal blue, rusty brown and purplish-gray, plus plenty of nuanced shading. There's a band of blue rimmed with avocado green and old ivory colored edging around the perimeter, too, and the flip side is outrageously beautiful as well, though it is unpolished and uneven, so it should be bezel-set. It has no flaws that I can find, so the stone is ready to take part in your most fanciful creations. Truly, it is a rare treasure anyone would be proud to own! The stone has a low rounded dome of 4mm, a long designer drop shape, and a brilliantly glassy polish.
