Turquoise ~
Offered here is a cabochon of turquoise from China, cut from hand selected rough fresh from this year's Tucson shows. The stone not only has wonderfully appealing sky blues, but also has golden russet, avocado and olive greens. Each individual nodule within the stone stands out beautifully against a contrasting background of chocolate brown to black, with beautifully detailed spiderwebbing. It reminds me a lot of the old Royston turquoise, the stuff I chose back in the '70s for my own jewelry. This material has been stabilized by a hardening process, as is most modern turquoise, but not dyed. It will wear wonderfully, without changing over the years. The cab has a nicely rounded dome of 5mm, a graceful designer shape, and a great glossy polish both front and back.
Size: 50x17mm
Weight: approximately 29 carats
