Raspberry tube agate cab ~
Offered here is a fascinating cabochon of raspberry tube agate, from Mexico. This highly figured agate is a pleasure to work with, and I must say I like it a lot! It is mined at the Crown Of Silver psilomelane claims as an extra added bonus. The deep raspberry coloration is due to the infiltration of rhodonite, so the miner tells me. There are many dark tubes and spots of psilomelane that contrast well in the crystalline agate base, along with some subtle fortifications that frame natural voids giving the stone a uniquely appealing dimension. The cab has a very high rounded dome of 6mm, a designer 'paisley' shape, and a great glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 38x21mm
Weight: approximately 31 carats
