This Orpheus Agate cabochon is from a rare batch that has great deep golden color in the banding and unusual reddish orange plumes set next to mossy green plumes in a clear agate center. I couldn't ask for more! There are perhaps stones that I’ve cut over the years that may be more beautiful, although this one has few rivals, but it is also the rarity and unexpectedness of this one is that makes it beyond words. This one-of-a-kind top quality stone definitely deserves to be showcased, whether in jewelry or in a collector’s display!
Top Quality Bulgarian Orpheus Agate Designer Cut Cabochon
36.7 x 29.8 x 6.7mm
50.51 cts.
I cut this cab by hand and it's been polished to a mirror polish both front and back with slightly rounded bottom edges for easy setting.
This rare agate comes from Kardzhali - Bulgaria. In 2004 the Agate exhibition in Munich found that Orpheus agate is unique in the world. Named after the ancient legendary Greek musical hero who frolicked in the area where the deposit is located. This unusual and rare stone from Bulgaria can be comprised of many layers of beautiful green Seladonit and golden yellow/brown jasper with some pockets of clear agate, with, on rare occasions, beautiful plumes within the clear agate.
