Cheetah Agate Designer Cut Cabochon

This cabochon shows off this perfectly named Cheetah Agate, with a gorgeous orange and golden yellow base and distinct black spotting. I love the richness of this stone and the closer you look, the more you see in the orange base that almost looks like cheetah fur upon close inspection. I've cut this cabochon with a shallow dome barely over 5mm to accentuate the beautiful translucency of this stone. A one-of-a-kind cabochon that rivals anything coming from this material, it will make an absolutely eye-catching piece of jewelry!

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

Cheetah Agate is a relative newcomer, having been discovered in Brazil while they were mining for Apatite. The name is a direct reflection of the colors and patterns in the stone, which sometimes contains bits of blue apatite.
