Carnelian cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of Oregon carnelian agate. This example has juicy translucent reddish orange coloration, with a nice display of the internal 'cornflakes' so sought after by collectors. I tried my best to capture the beautiful 'flakes inside this stone, but the saturated color tends to wash out such details. If you look closely, you'll see it also has a primary pattern of bands down one side, and the stone is beautifully translucent, as illustrated by the backlit photo. Carnelian with this rich coloration is none too easy to come by, as most have color only on the outside of the rough pieces, in a thin layer of rind. Not this one, it's vibrant hue is through and through. The cab has a rounded dome of 5+mm, a bold designer shape, and despite a couple teensy pinpoint voids, it has an excellent glassy polish both front and back.
