This rock was gathered just a few miles from home. It's known locally, along with other rock found in the spillings of coal mines, as "Brookwood Stone." This cabochon looked as though it had been cracked with a hammer eons ago and healed over the ages. Very stable; fractures more prominent than in the photo. Back is not polished.

Round girdle; 33mm x 26.5mm x 8mm.   Weight: 50.30 carats.

Every one of my cabochons is custom cut to take the best advantage of the particular slab from which it is fashioned. Colors may vary somewhat from what is pictured due to differences in computer monitors.
