African Red Banded Agate Designer Cut Cabochon

This gorgeous rare agate is found in Mozambique, Africa and has a beautiful deep red blush color with strong banding. This cab has incredibly rich coloring and shows off as a superb example of this gorgeous material. I will point out that there is a small healed fracture (you can see it easiest in the fourth photo), but it does not go throughout the stone, nor is it obvious or intrusive to the eye. This nicely domed one-of-a-kind gemmy treasure will make an incredible piece of jewelry or would also be a great collector stone.

I cut this cab by hand and it's been polished to a high polish 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.
