I like big cabs and I cannot lie! I cut this Lace Agate cabochon in a freeform long-egg cut to see if the matrix on the left would hold together, and it did, nicely. The left and right sides of this cab have very different appearances, separated by a line of "lace." There are vugs in the dark matrix at the bottom of the cabochon, but I think they add character. This cab was cut from the same slab as this one.
P.S. Gloria at Wire Treasures said she can see a girl's face in the middle of the cab. Can you see it? Dimensions: 57mm x 27mm x 7mm. Weight: 85.75 carats.
