Description
~ Bumble bee jasper cab ~

Offered here is a striking cabochon of bumble bee jasper, from Indonesia. This example features wavy banding in bright yellow-orange alternating with a more neutral pinkish-gray color. The brilliant hues really catch and hold the eye, and much of the stone is translucent, adding a gemmy dimension of depth. This material is harvested near the steaming calderas of Mount Papandayan, an active volcano, where locals collect native sulfur! So that explains the vivid yellow colors, and great designer potential! The cab has a well rounded dome of 5.5mm, a versatile designer 'flame' shape, and a slick glossy polish both front and back.

Size: 42x24mm
Weight: approximately 41 carats
