Wave Hill agate cab ~
Offered here is a very special cab of Wave Hill agate, from Australia's Northern Territory. It's not often that a 'new' material becomes an instant favorite of mine, but this exceptional agate won my heart straight away. Everyone who sees it is impressed! When Terry Maple spied these agates at this year's Tucson show, he bought the entire lot! Bless his heart for sending some fine little nodules home for me to enjoy!
Please take a good look at the details in this stone and you'll see why I'm so excited. It has bold fortification banding, like the finest Laguna, Fairburn and Botswana agates; the colors are at least as appealing as that seen in Dryhead or Lake Superior agates; it has intricate orbs and bullseyes that rival some ocean jaspers; and to top it all off, it has contrast and composition to die for! Yes indeedy, this agate has all the right stuff. Believe me when I say, there will be plenty of these appealing little beauties in my own personal collection, and in my Christmas jewelry too, for sure. The uniqueness of each Wave Hill agate makes it a lapidary's fantasy, a collector's MUST HAVE, and I have no doubt it'll be a jewelry designer's best friend. This gorgeous red and white banded gem is a bargain at less than $3.50 per carat. It's YUMMY, and then some! This cab has a low but well rounded dome of about 5mm, a curvy designer shape, with a great glassy polish both front and back.
