Orpheus Agate designer gem 2/13/2017 01 - 61 x 27 x 5.6 mm -
58 carats - This rare agate comes from Kardzhali - Bulgaria.
In 2004 the Agate exhibition in Munich found that Orpheus
agate is unique in the world. It has layers of green
seladonite and brown and yellow jasper with clear agate and
on rare occasions it also has beautiful and colorful plumes
within the agate. Bulgarians who found the stone named it
after the mythical singer and musician Orpheus, who is said
to have lived in Bulgaria. This large gem has the ultra rare
plumes in nearly clear agate and is cut to a fancy designer
paisley flame with a beautifully rounded dome, girdled sides
and a flat beveled back all with high gloss luster. There is
a druzy void that has green flecks in the crystals. I'm
awestruck by the beauty in both the material and the cut of
this stone. It's very satisfying when my work exceeds my
expectations. Here is a video to see this one of a kind gem
in motion:
