Caldera Gary Green Jasper Rough (a/k/a Larsonite) Designer Cut Cabochon

Beautiful waves of deep forest greens and white ribbons with wonderful contrasting highlights of pinkish orange and sienna in this cabochon I've created from newly discovered Caldera Gary Green Jasper. A unique cabochon from this colorful new sought after Gary Green material, this would make a great one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry!

I cut this cab by hand and it's been highly polished both front and back with slightly rounded bottom edges for easy setting.

Note that all my photos were taken using full spectrum lighting, which does fairly well in replicating natural sunlight. However, almost all cut stones will look best and brightest in direct sunlight.

Caldera Gary Green Jasper is a newer find of Larsonite, most commonly called simply “Gary Green”. As with the famous Gary Green which has been around for a while, the Caldera Gary Green Jasper is from McDermitt, Oregon, but seems to have a greater mix of color other than green. It also has gorgeous patterns and is definitely unmistakably a member of the Gary Green family. On a side note, with respect to the original Gary Green, it was thought to be petrified bog wood, but has recently been tested and found not to be petrified wood, so is now simply referred to as Gary Green or Gary Green Jasper. However, adding even more confusion to the situation, the claim was recently sold and the new owners are choosing to call it "Freedom Jasper". I prefer to refer to it as "Gary Green", as that was the name when I purchased the material ;)
