Wave Hill agate cab ~
Offered here is a sweet lil' cab of Wave Hill agate, from Australia's Northern Territory. It's not often that a 'new' material becomes an instant favorite of mine, but this exceptional agate won my heart straight away. Everyone who sees it is impressed! When Terry Maple spied these agates at this year's Tucson show, he bought the entire lot! Bless his heart for sending some fine little nodules home for me to enjoy! Please take a good look at the details in this stone and you'll see why I'm so excited about this world class agate. It has bold fortification banding in contrasting shades of burnt rosy orange, pink and white, with a few small scallops and orbs at the tip in a pleasing blue gray color. The crystalline core shows some neat sparkles, and has a lacy edged floater within. The color brings to mind a Dryhead agate, doesn't it? Believe me when I say there will be plenty of these appealing little beauties in my own personal collection, and in my Christmas jewelry too, for sure. The uniqueness of each Wave Hill agate makes it a lapidary's fantasy, a collector's MUST HAVE, and I have no doubt it'll be a jewelry designer's best friend. This beauty is a bargain at less than $2 per carat. It's YUMMY! It has a high rounded dome of 6mm, a graceful shape, and a fine glassy polish both front and back.
