Nipomo marcasite cab ~
Offered here is a matching set of cabochons 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. These fine examples feature 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, but hopefully, these pics are enough to give you the idea. The larger cab has a well rounded dome of 5mm, while the smaller pair are 4mm thick. Each has a crisp designer shape, and a bright gleaming polish both front and back.
Size: 47x11mm, 16x12mm for the pair
Weight: approximately 55 carats total
