Apache jasper cab ~
Offered here is a designer cabochon of Apache jasper, actually a rhyolite, also known as Mimbres Valley jasper, after the location where it's found in New Mexico. This fabulous material just smacks of southwest flavor, with its strong resemblance to the old west's sagebrush dotted desertscapes. This particular example features some of that plumy sagebrush, in shades of deep maroon and dusty rose pink. The stone has a high rounded dome of 5+mm, a rather whimsical concave triangular shape, and a great glossy polish both front and back.
Size: 31x31mm
Weight: approximately 25 carats
Price: SOLD See current gemstones for sale
