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, unlike the more common copper complexes so often substituted for it and erroneously dubbed 'parrot wing'. This is the real deal, folks. It features a mottled pattern of turquoise blue and dark rich blue, malachite green and deepest darkest maroon red cuprite. Nice spidery turqoise threads too. It's every bit as vivid as the photos depict, perhaps even moreso. I really enjoy cabbing this classic material for use in my own jewelry; it's strikingly colored, very solid, and there's seldom any difficulty achieving a smooth, glossy shine. The cab has a high rounded dome of nearly 5.5mm, and a sleek designer 'flame' shape that's polished both front and back.
Size: 51x23mm
