Calandria Agate
designer gem 11/21/2015 01 - 62 x 26 x 4.5 mm - 47 carats -
I couldn't sleep so I got up and cut a cab. I don't know
much about this agate but I got it from Sue Gallagher and
she says it comes from Mexico. This cab was made with
patience and took almost 2 hours. She was cut from nearly
the whole pattern of a flawless nodule with golden yellow
colors around the outer layers, creamy pastel banding and a
distinctive yet subtle lavender center. The colors are just
fabulous. She also has some nice parallax (shadow) effect in
the banding on both sides and the icing is that beautiful
feathery plume bursting into the middle of this big, near
flawless designer cut gem. She is even more translucent and
gemmy in hand. She will make a fantastic pendant or
collector stone. Beautifully rounded low dome, girdled sides
and a flat beveled back, all with liquid high gloss luster.
I am extremely pleased with this stone and I hope you like
it too. I have officially named this cabochon "Lilith". Here
is a video to see her in motion:
