Imperial cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of Royal Imperial jasper, from Mexico. This collectible 'ojitos' material is simply wonderful stuff, another member of the fine grained porcelain jasper family I love so much. (Ojitos means little eyes in Spanish.) This one features an attractive orbicular pattern in pastel shades of teal blue-green with gray, surrounded by bands of olive and pastel lime. The pattern fits the shape of the stone quite well, and the backside is beautiful as well. The stone has a nicely rounded dome of 4.5mm, which is a bit thinner than I prefer, but it works well for this one, and a fine glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 73x22mm
Weight: approximately 55 carats
Price: Sold
