Deschutes jasper cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of Deschutes jasper, from Oregon. A treasured favorite in the celebrated family of porcelain jaspers, classic old material like this has become quite collectible and pricey these days, when one can find any to buy. This scenic example features a detailed craggy pattern in richly contrasting earth tones, with a grayish 'sky' above. Nice backlighting behind the rocky crest too. These earthy colors look terrific in a setting of silver, though this jasper is certainly worthy of gold; the choice is yours! The cab has a low rounded dome of 4.5mm, a crisp designer 'diamond' shape, and a fine glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 51x28mm
Weight: approximately 42 carats
Price: SOLD See current gemstones for sale
