Wave Hill agate cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of Wave Hill agate, from Australia's Northern Territory. Seldom have I been so delighted by a 'new' material, but this exceptional agate made a fan out of me with the first one I cut. Everyone who sees the cabs is impressed by them! 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! This stone has beautiful banding going for it, some bold and some razor fine, in shades of orange and pink that look a lot like fresh-caught salmon. Around much of the edge is an old ivory hue, with a few orbs and bullseyes of orange and slate blue. At the core, it's partially translucent, showing a velvety pink color. 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 stone has a low but well rounded dome of 5mm, a gracefully curved designer shape, and a great glassy polish both front and back.
