Nipomo marcasite agate cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of rare Nipomo marcasite in agate, from that famous location in Central California. Years ago, I was told the area where this great old material was once collected now has condos built on it, so that's it, folks. This example features pale bluish agate loaded with shiny metallic 'chromed islands' of bright marcasite. Plumes, actually, with oodles of gleam! Nipomo marcasite is an extremely challenging material to photograph because it's so highly reflective. I didn't do real well on these pics but you get the idea. The cab has a high rounded dome of 7mm, a gracefully curved designer shape, and a bright gleaming polish both front and back.
Size: 60x22mm
Weight: approximately 67 carats
Price: SOLD See current gemstones for sale
