Pakistan
52.95 x 21.76 x 5.50 mm

This impressive 58.25-carat cabochon of "K2" Jasper displays a striking pattern of vivid Azurite orbs scattered across a matrix of white Granite. The contrast between the deep blue inclusions and the pale, speckled groundmass creates a distinctive and highly recognizable aesthetic unique to material from the foothills of Pakistan's Karakoram Range. The polished surface reveals subtle texture within the stone, adding dimension to its naturally graphic appearance. Each orb is sharply defined, lending balance and rhythm to the overall composition. With its bold coloration and fascinating origin, this Jasper would make a distinctive and meaningful gift for the season.
