Parrot wing jasper cab ~
Offered here is a large cabochon of premium old stock parrot wing jasper, from Mexico. This delightful jasperized chrysocolla is becoming very difficult to find, unlike the more common copper complexes so often substituted for it and erroneously dubbed 'parrot wing'. It features a mottled pattern of rich turquoise blue, shot through with veins of malachite green and patches of deepest darkest maroon red cuprite. It's every bit as vivid as the photos depict, perhaps even moreso. I really enjoy cabbing this classic material for use in my own jewelry; it's strikingly colored, very solid, and there's seldom any difficulty achieving a smooth, glossy shine. The cab has a rounded dome 7mm, a bold designer shape, and it is polished both front and back.
Size: 57x23mm
Weight: approximately 71 carats
