The first time that we have seen this material worked - into an effective cab material no less. The opaque reddish-brown Jasper (chalcedony) is punctuated by well formed crystals of deep blue Apatite. The real attraction here is that the Apatite is near-gem quality and fully translucent; the cab has been cut thin enough that light will pass through these. Lovely aesthetics with the framed outline of the Apatite crystals. We were able to source just a few, really fine examples of this material. This is a great looking stone.
