Banded Jasper Cabochons
I can't really tell you much about this material except that it comes from Mexico and has great striped
patterns in a variety of colors including brown, red, yellow and white. I bought several fist-sized pieces of this material
to polish on one side and sell as specimens and I was impressed enough to obtain more for cutting cabochons.

of the stones and not dust as it looks. (To me anyway!) Approx sizes: 8x15 8x14 10x12 Weight: 7.1 cts. total

This beautiful point has the great banded pattern that really impressed me about this material. Unfortunately, there
is a small flaw in the surface at the top of the stone in the rear. The line in the front on the top is just part of
the pattern. Approx. size: 5(3)x8x28 Weight: 9.75 cts.

The bottom stone in the photo of this lot has a flaw along the edge. I'm pretty sure it will get covered up with
a bezel setting, but I'm going to throw it in for free. All three of these will make unique, conversation starting rings!
Approx. sizes: 8x9 7x11 8x13 Total Weight: 5.95 cts.
