Description
~ Royal imperial jasper cab ~

Offered here is an intriguing cabochon of 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 one features a neat orbicular pattern with muted pistachio greens and grayish-browns that remind me of a Japanese watercolor paiting. The orb out front has a attractive craqueleur pattern, and along the other orbs, the group seems to nestle down into soft folds within the stone. The backside is also beautiful, so an open-backed setting would be just the thing. The cab has a rounded dome of nearly 5mm, a fat designer teardrop shape, and a super glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 31x31mm
Weight: approximately 36 carats
