Natural Jasper 68.5ct Oval Cabochon

A wide, flat-domed oval in warm cream and sandy-buff tones, with horizontal yellow-ochre banding running across the upper portion of the stone. Two patches of dark charcoal-grey sit at the uppermost edge and at the lower-left, grounding the warm palette with deeper accents. The overall feel is open and calm - a pale, landscape-like composition in warm sandy hues with the yellow bands creating gentle horizontal movement across the face. The polish is smooth with a satiny sheen.

This material is a yellow-toned picture jasper from India, a country producing a wide variety of jasper types across its mineral-rich geology. Jasper is an opaque microcrystalline quartz with a hardness of 7, making it a durable, practical cabochon material. Untreated. The wide oval format at 41.9x28.8mm suits large pendant settings, brooches, and statement ring bezels.
