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 photos. Anyway, this unique stone has a lovely showing of tiny pinkish orbs and clouds, suspended 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 'flame' shape, a nicely rounded dome of 6mm, and is polished to a brilliant shine both front and back.
Size: 43x23mm
Weight: approximately 45 carats
Price: SOLD See current gemstones for sale
