Here for your consideration is a lovely Candelaria Variscite cabochon. This colorful hydrated aluminum phosphate comes from the Candelaria district of Nevada. Candelaria is now considered a ghost town. Variscite is one of the rarer and lesser known gemstones in today's market, but this one is definitely a hit. Collected by the late Rodney Frisby near his Vista Grande claim.

These colors are natural and this stone is NOT dyed. This cabochon is not a composite and not backed - it is 100% Candelaria Variscite. 

Standard radius dome. High polish front and back.

This will be a drop dead gorgeous focal piece in your next metal smithing or wire wrap project. It is indeed quite the cool heirloom collectible to brag about as well!
