A dramatic designer cabochon of old school Howardite. Howardite is a rare, old-timey cutting material mined in the 60's, it's a silicified/opalized/agatized tuff from northern Nevada. Red,pink  and yellow in a wood grain pattern with translucent sections in between. A really nice colorful stone! It has a glossy high polish front and back and is professionally cut. Slightly beveled to facilitate setting, it will look terrific set in one of your designs or as a terrific addition to your collection. This stone measures 56x23 mm and is 5.5 mm thick the weight is 46 cts. Don't let this one get away! As always, Thanks for looking!
