Wave Hill agate cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon 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. This eye agate is full of interesting banded scallops, oodles of orbs, and some fortifications in unusual colors that are difficult to put a name to. I like how the purplish gray blends into the creamy ivory areas, but the intricate bullseyes really steal the show. 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. The cab has a nicely rounded dome of 6.5mm, a neat 'jelly bean' sort of shape, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.
