Pilbara Picasso Jasper Designer Cut Matched Cabochon Pair

This beautiful matched pair of cabochons shows the intricate string designs typical of Pilbara Picasso Jasper with a bold bands of red and yellow crossing the cabs. Thin filaments of yellow and red webbing intertwine like spider webs across the black surface of the stone in an abstract design only found in this unusual jasper. Note that there is a slight pit on the top of the back of one of them, but it does not deter the appearance of the cab from the front and would be covered by a setting. I've cut these thin to reduce the weight when made into earrings. A truly unique pair which is sure to inspire!

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

Pilbara Picasso Jasper is a new material that comes from one locality in Australia and only a limited quantity is available from the mine. The colors are varied as are the patterns, but it typically found as Yellow, tan, orange and red lines in a black matrix. Since this material is tends to be fractured, it rarely cuts large slabs or spheres.
