Apache gold cab ~
Offered here is a designer cabochon of 'Apache Gold', from Arizona, not to be confused with pulsite, which is common by comparison. I'm told this classic old timey material is actually black serpentine with inclusions of golden pyrite, completely mined out long ago. As you can see, this one's loaded with metallics, and the shiny gold stands out in super contrast against the jet black, for a rich look like no other. This is another of those tough to photograph materials, because it's next to impossible to get all the golden areas to reflect at once; in reality, that's just what they do. The cab has a high rounded dome of over 6mm, and despite a seemingly bumpy surface, it has a super glossy polish both front and back.
Size: 44x20mm
Weight: approximately 44 carats
Price: SOLD See current gemstones for sale
