Wave Hill agate cab ~
Offered here is a tasty 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 this world class agate has captured my imagination so. It has very ornate 'eyes', with a bit of fortification banding in multiple shades of rose, pink and white, with a sparkly crystalline area along the inside curve. In fact, nearly the whole back is crystalline. This example very much resembles ocean jasper, and came as a real surprised to me as I ground it to shape. Yes indeedy, this agate is nothing short of amazing, and I'm crazy about it, can you tell? 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 mighty little eye agate gem has a generously high and well rounded dome of 8.5mm, and a great glassy polish both front and back.
