Description
~ Royal Sahara jasper cab ~

Offered here is a splendidly unique designer cabochon of the new Royal Sahara jasper, harvested in the North African Sahara desert. It's the newest addition to the beloved family of porcelain jaspers, and has so much going for it, it's difficult to describe... It compares well to the old Deschutes and Biggs jaspers, with even wilder, more colorfully exotic patterns. My cousin said "There's a flying horse with wings in this piece!", and marked it out for me to cab. And here it is, complete with a black pegasus, and his long feathered wings and tail trailing behind him. What more can I say?

This hefty stone has a high rounded dome of 6+mm, and a designer 'flame' shape that enhances and contains the pattern wonderfully well. Like the other more familiar porcelain jaspers, it is very hard, and took a great glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 56x31mm
Weight: approximately 74 carats
