Royal imperial jasper cab ~
Offered here is a splendid cabochon of royal imperial jasper, from Mexico. This collectible 'ojitos' material is simply wonderful stuff, another member of the fine grained porcelain jasper family I love so much. (Ojitos means little eyes in Spanish.) This example features an artful orbicular pattern in pleasing shades of muted teal and sky blues, both light and dark, which are far less common than most other colors. It is overlaid with a secondary pattern of darker blue streaks, reminiscent of venetian blinds. The blue surrounding both the orb and streak pattern is edged with a band of pistachio green, and fits the shape of the stone quite well. The backside is beautiful too, so an open back setting would be just the thing. The cab has a rounded dome of nearly 6.5mm, a curvy designer 'flame' shape, and a super glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 49x21mm
Weight: approximately 44 carats
