Morgan Hill poppy jasper cab ~
Offered here is a large, deluxe cabochon of collectible poppy jasper, from the famous Morgan Hill, CA. deposit, no longer open to collecting. This eye-catching example has a background of reddish orange, overlaid with several burnt yellow bullseyes. The interesting brecciated parts are quite apparent, naturally broken during the formation of this jasper, due to earthquakes that continue to wrack the area to this day. It was re-cemented with translucent gray and white quartz, and as far as I can tell, all the typical hairline fractures common to this classic material are quite well healed and solid. The cab has a high rounded dome of 6.5mm, a gracefully sleek designer 'flame' shape, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 56X23mm
Weight: approximately 59 carats
