parrot wing jasper cab ~
Offered here is a large cabochon of premium old stock parrot wing jasper, from Mexico. This delightful jasperized chrysocolla is becoming very difficult to find, and spendy too, unlike the more common copper complexes so often substituted for it and erroneously dubbed 'parrot wing'. This is the real deal, folks. This unique beauty has VIVID greens, turquoise and sky blues, and strokes of pastel yellow and gray too. The striking green areas very much remind me of gaspeite, and they are every bit as vibrant as the photos depict, perhaps even moreso. I really enjoy cabbing this classic material for use in my own jewelry; it's beautifully colored, very solid, and there's seldom any difficulty achieving a slick, glassy shine. The cab has a high rounded dome of 6mm, and a graceful designer 'flame' shape, polished both front and back.
