Ocean Jasper Designer Cut Cabochon

From some stock I've been holding onto for about 15 years, this fantastic "old school" cab of Ocean Jasper has great rimmed Green and White radiating orbs floating in a sea of Yellow and Orange organic wave patterning. I've cut this stone with a medium dome, girdled sides and a flat but slightly beveled bottom. This one of a kind Ocean Jasper Cabochon would make a magnificent piece of jewelry or be a great addition to a collection.

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

Introduced in 2000, Ocean Jasper has quickly become a highly prized material. It is truly a unique stone, with its distinct spherical inclusions, originating as spheres of silica rich magma, in a translucent base. The name of "Ocean Jasper" is truly dually descriptive because it was found along the northwest seacoast of Madagascar (only collected at low tide) and they felt that it was "suggestive of the bubbling surf of the sea."
