This was a great week at William Holland! Several of the cabochons I cut while supervising my students had the coolest designs in them. This Willow Creek Jasper cabochon, for example, has a phoenix rising from the pink ashes at the bottom! Gloria has a thing for phoenixes, so this one's staying in the collection.

40mm x 30.5mm x 5.5mm.   Weight: 51.10 carats.

This cabochon is in my personal collection. It is not for sale.
