Picture Jasper Cabochon (minor imperfection)
A beautifully polished Picture Jasper gemstone with earthy colour and bold markings. Although the front has been polished to a vitreous lustre, the back is unpolished.
This cabochon has been reduced due to two small chips on the back of the stone, one on each corner. They're not visible from the front and do not affect the shape or appearance of the corners.
Given that this stone has been very finely cut, it may well have happened during cutting or polishing.
When choosing gemstones for our collection, we sometimes find very nice stones with minor imperfections that we can buy at a significantly reduced price.
