This is a beautiful custom-cut Guatemalan Jadeite cabochon. It is 64 x 19 mm at its widest points, and 5 mm thick. It weighs 36 carats. It looks very dark in natural lighting, but move it around with a light on it and you can notice some tiny shiny flecks in it - almost a chatoyance. Not sure what they are, and was not able to capture them in any photo, but to me, they add to the beauty of the stone. You see a mottled pattern in it when viewed in the light as well. It has a nice translucence with light from behind. Pretty stone. First Class shipping available upon request.

Jadeite Cabochon Item# 2160 Price: $45.00
This is a loose, round, natural Turkish Purple Jade cabochon. It measures approximately 24 mm in diameter x 6-7 mm thick and weighs 33.5 carats. There is a thin bezel on it, and the flat back has a light polish on it as well. This rare material is actually 40% Jadeite, the rest a mix of other minerals. It is ready for a standard or custom setting, or simply add a flat-back bail, or set it in a wire-wrapping design. But you can even just display it as a collector piece. First Class shipping available upon request.
