Psilomelane cab ~
Here is a designer cabochon of Crown Of Silver psilomelane, cut my my middle son, John. This Chihuahua, Mexico material is sometimes referred to as 'black malachite', though there's no real relation. It features many fine concentric bands and eyes in shiny 'smoked chrome' alternating with metallic black, and it is very highly reflective. In fact, it is so shiny, my son had a fit trying to capture a decent photo, until I felt sorry for him and helped a little. The photos show it somewhat lighter than the reality; in hand, it's blacker, but still has that fabulous pattern. The stone has a very high rounded dome, a strong shape, and a slick polish. The backside is flat and unpolished.
Size: 39x20mm
Weight: approximately 32 carats
