Description
~ 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 scattering of 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 drop shape, a high rounded dome of 7mm, and is polished to a brilliant shine both front and back.

Size: 45x18mm
Weight: approximately 52 carats
