It's been a while since I've found red Leopardskin Jasper to cut. Here is a fine example of this hard-to-find material. The cabochon is freeform cut into a long egg shape. The cab's most unusual features are a half dozen or more small inclusions that flash when light moves across them. When first seen, they suggest small druzy pits; but the surface is smooth all over, and each little inclusion seems to consist of a tiny flat mirrored plane that can only be seen for an instant. This was impossible to photograph unfortunately.

48.5mm x 28.5mm x 7mm.   Weight: 58.50 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.
