TN paint rock agate cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of Paint Rock agate, from the so-called 'Strawberry Patch' area in Tennessee. It takes its name from that locale, and does indeed bear some resemblance to strawberries. This treasured old time agate is quite a rarity; in fact, I've only seen a few pieces of it in the last 45 years, not counting pictures, and no cabs other than my own, ever! Anyway, this unique stone is packed with tiny pinkish orbs and clouds, seemingly floating in a translucent gel background. The backlit photo reveals its gemmy nature, so please be sure to click to enlarge the pics to full size. It has a designer 'shield' shape, a high rounded dome of 6.5mm, and is polished to a brilliant shine both front and back.
Size: 38x23mm
Weight: approximately 53 carats
