Description
~ Crown of Silver Psilomelane cab ~

Offered here is a cabochon of Crown Of Silver psilomelane, from Chihuahua, Mexico. This classic old wide-band material is sometimes referred to as 'black malachite', though there's no real relation. It features a well defined pattern of bands in shiny 'smoked chrome', alternating with sub-metallic black. The beautiful moire pattern is the perfect companion to mokume gane metal work. The stone has a high rounded dome of 6mm, a designer shape, and a super reflective glassy polish both front and back. I do need to mention that there's a tiny hairline present in the wide silvery band, which you can see in the close up of the second photo; it's very fine and barely noticeable, less than 1/8th inch long.

Size: 29x14mm
Weight: approximately 16 carats
