Description
~ Poppy jasper cab ~

Here is a fancy cabochon of poppy jasper. Frankly, I cannot firmly specify a location for this one. The unidentified rough came from an estate sale, and I find that it's just as beautiful without a proper name as with. This stone is unusual, showing a subtle pattern of mossy eyes in a bright reddish color, with centers of deep maroon. They contrast very nicely against a translucent white agate background, as illustrated by the backlit photo. A very close inspection reveals the presence of a couple of odd razor-fine veins, which are quite well healed; there are NONE of the fractures so commonly seen in poppy jaspers. The cab has a well rounded dome of 5+mm, a crisp designer shape, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.
