Morrisonite jasper cab ~
Offered here is a spendidly unique cabochon of premium morrisonite jasper, from the old Morrison Ranch digs in Oregon. I have a huge parent chunk of this material, and even after cutting from it for years, it has continually surprised me by changing patterns dramatically from one slice to the next. That's the way it goes, and it's part of the wonder that keeps me fired up about lapidary! Morrisonite is RARE material, the most sought after member of the porcelain jasper family, called the king of jaspers by many. This stone is a delightful example, with a wild and varied pattern that includes warm hues of burnt orange, gold, peach and green. It shows exceptionally attractive shadowing around the streamers! The stone has a nicely rounded dome of 5mm, a sweet designer shape, and a brilliant glassy polish both front and back.
