Flame agate cab ~
Offered here is an exceptional cabochon of flame agate, from Mexico. This stone was cut from old stock material, none too easy to come by these days. It has a fabulous display of velvety plumes in very appropriate crimson hues, in a translucent agate base. There are a couple tiny sparkles of quartz adding to the stone's character. Gorgeous! I do need to mention the presence of an odd razor fine line; it's not a flaw, nor is it distracting, and it is tough to find unless you know it's there. The backlit photo shows it, toward the bottom, and also reveals the gemmy nature of this stone. The cab has a low but rounded dome of 4mm, a plump designer 'drop' shape, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.
