Description
~ Royal imperial jasper cab ~

Offered here is an extraordinary 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 extra PRIMO example features an artful orbicular pattern in pleasing shades of teal blues, both light and dark, which is far less common than most other colors. There's even some hints of a muted lavender present, along with some greens and browns. The orby pattern fits the shape of the stone quite well, and the backside is beautiful too, so an open back setting would be just the thing. The cab has a rounded dome of 5mm, a designer teardrop shape, and a super glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 35x25mm
Weight: approximately 40 carats
