Description
~ Butterfly wing jasper cab ~

Offered here is a cabochon of butterfly wing jasper, from Mexico. This long time favorite brecciated jasper (actually a rhyolite) is a much sought after classic, and a favorite in my studio. This example was cut from grand old material, full of colorfully varied figure in peachy pink, with splashes of yellow, slate blue and burnt orange, with maroon webs. It also includes an intriguing pool of smoky agate that's translucent, as illustrated by the backlit photo, complete with its own tiny 'floating' island. Any odd lines are either totally and naturally healed or simply part of the pattern, so this one's ready to take part in your next masterpiece. The cab has a nicely rounded dome of 6mm, a crisp designer shape, and a smooth glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 54x21mm
Weight: approximately 45 carats
