Nipomo marcasite agate cab ~
Offered here is a splendid cabochon of rare Nipomo marcasite in agate, from that famous location in Central California. I've heard the area where this great old material was once collected now has condos built on it, so that's it, folks. This fine example features pale bluish agate loaded with shiny metallic 'chromed islands' of bright marcasite. Plumes, actually, with oodles of gleam from those beneath the agate's surface! Nipomo marcasite is an extremely challenging material to photograph because it's so highly reflective, and I didn't do real well with the front view, and had to snap the photos off to one side. Hopefully, these pics are enough to give you the idea. The cab has a well rounded dome of 5mm, a versatile designer shape, and a bright gleaming polish both front and back.
Size: 47x20mm
Weight: approximately 55 carats
