Description
~ Stone Canyon agate ~

Offered here is a striking cabochon of classic Stone Canyon jasper, from California. It is a fine example of brecciated stone, which means the original ochre-yellow jasper was once broken apart by some powerful earth movement, and then naturally re-cemented with contrasting burgundy-red and yellow agate. Even though the stone is 6+mm thick, the agate has a nice degree of translucency in those infilled areas, for an added dimension of depth. In all the years I've been cabbing, this is the nicest patterned, most beautifully colored Stone Canyon jasper I've yet seen! The stone has a super slick glassy polish both front and back, despite a couple very teensy drusy pockets.

Size: 41x27mm
Weight: approximately 40 carats

Price: $48.00
