Description
~ Malawi blue agate cab ~

Offered here is a superb cabochon of Malawi blue agate, also known as blue chalcedony, from Africa. It features lovely translucent bluish-purple coloration, along with a curving stripe of subtle bandings, as well as some interesting puffy dots down the side. The highly polished shape causes light to bounce around wonderfully in this stone, and at certain angles, it does appear to have some nice adularescence. It's almost opalescent, and certainly very gemmy! Like a lot of blue agates, this stone is also moody, and appears deeper in color when viewed in low lighting. It has very high rounded dome of over 6mm, a gracefully fluid designer shape, and a super glassy polish both front and back.

Size: 61.5x14mm
Weight: approximately 33 carats
