Description
~ Chopstick agate cab ~

Offered here is an unusual cabochon of chopstick agate, from China's Gobi desert. This fascinating lattice agate material is brand new to my studio, fresh from this year's Tucson show. This example has plenty of stick figures going every which way, creating a lattice pattern that very much resembles hoarfrost. Not many of these agates seem to have a lot of color, but this one has peachy pinks, orange and white, with accents of forest green and gold. The colors help add a nice touch of contrast, making the sticks stand out all the more. I think this new agate will make excellent jewelry, and hope you'll be encouraged to find out. The stone has a high rounded dome of 6mm, a plump designer teardrop shape, and a fine glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 36x24mm
Weight: approximately 38 carats
