Nipomo marcasite cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of rare Nipomo marcasite in agate, from that famous location in Central California. The area where this great old material was once collected is no longer accessible, so it has become quite hard to come by these days. It features nearly translucent and pale bluish agate nearly jam packed with shiny metallic 'chromed islands' of bright marcasite. Plumes, actually, with oodles of gleam! Nipomo marcasite is an extremely challenging material to photograph because it's highly reflective, and I must say the stone in hand is much nicer than my camera and I were able to illustrate. The cab has a high rounded dome of 7+mm, and a gleaming polish both front and back.
Size: 55x24mm
Weight: approximately 84 carats
