Here for your consideration is a lovely Orion Variscite cabochon. Discovered by our friend and intrepid prospector Rodney Frisby some years ago, this colorful hydrated aluminum phosphate comes from his claim in the Candelaria district of Nevada. Variscite is one of the rarer and lesser known gemstones in today's market, but this one is a hit.
These colors are natural and this stone is NOT dyed. This cabochon is not a composite and not backed - it is 100% Orion 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!
