Description
~ Botswana agate cab ~

Offered here is a dramatic cabochon of classic Botswana agate, from Africa. Always a favorite around here, I was delighted to luck into a large cache of top notch slabs and nodules recently. This material has become rather hard to find in recent years, and the price has risen accordingly. This extraordinary example has the strongly contrasting fortification bandings these agates are so prized for. It is truly astonishing how closely the banded pattern resembles woodgrain, complete with an eye that looks as if it's floating. This one will certainly 'speak' well in your jewelry creations, in even the simplest of settings. It's a real keeper! The cab has a well rounded dome of 5mm, a gracefully curved designer shape, and it is polished to a glassy brilliance both front and back.

Size: 52x21mm
Weight: approximately 40 carats
