Parrot wing jasper cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of 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 green, with a few scattered flecks of deepest, darkest maroon cuprite. Nice spidery turquoise 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 6mm, and a sleek designer shape that's polished both front and back.
Size: 45x26mm
Weight: approximately 59 carats
