Crown of Silver psilomelane cab ~
Offered here is a designer cabochon of Crown Of Silver psilomelane, from Chihuahua, Mexico. This classic material is sometimes referred to as 'black malachite', though there's no real relation. It features many fine concentric bands framing a central eye in shiny 'smoked chrome' alternating with sub-metallic black, and it is very highly reflective. In fact, it is so shiny, the surface wants to reflect everything in the room! The photos show it somewhat stronger than the reality; in hand, it's deeper and darker, still with that fabulous pattern. The stone has a very high rounded dome, a sweet shape, and a slick glassy polish. The backside is sanded smooth and flat, unpolished.
Size: 39x23mm
Weight: approximately 32 carats
Price: SOLD See current gemstones for sale
