Wave Hill agate cab ~
Offered here is a smaller 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 love this world class agate. This one has great banding, excellent contrast, some eyes, and a lovely coloration that includes brown, blue gray, black and white, with an interesting blush of coral pink and peach. It does have a small, short healed feather that's tough to see, but it's not much of a distraction; I'm finding that to be typical of Wave Hill agates. The uniqueness of each of these 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 ring-stone sized gem has a well rounded dome of nearly 6mm, and a great glassy polish both front and back.
