Description
~ Mushroom jasper cab ~

Offered here is a cabochon of mushroom picture jasper, from Arizona. This silicated material is actually a rhyolite, much like rainforest 'jasper', and has small areas of quartz within it. It's named for its similarity to mushrooms, which sounds a lot better than toadstool jasper, eh? Very pretty stuff that's been around for a while, I held off buying any until seeing some in person, now I love it. The many 'shrooms are accented by a neat crimson edging, set against an olive green background. This stone has a well rounded dome of 6mm, a gracefully curved designer shape, and a smooth glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 61x18mm
Weight: approximately 50 carats
