Description
~ Marra Mamba tigereye cab ~

Offered here is an amazing cabochon of rare Marra Mamba tigereye, from Australia. This startling material is brilliantly chatoyant, with a bright rolling flash you just can't miss, even in these flat digital photos. The three chatoyant pools are predominantly a teal blue, but there's also a streak of bright gold at the large end. Only the top quality Marra Mamba tigereye possesses this vibrant electric gleam in these outrageous colors. Adding a bit more to the palette, there is a thin ribbon of pastel orange at one side, edged with shiny metallic hematite and brick redjasper with light and dark green patches. The dark ribbons seen at the other side are also hematite, against yellow ochre jasper, and they're quite shiny too, though the camera records them as being dark. The stone has a nicely rounded dome of nearly 7mm, and an excellent glassy polish both front and back. It's a steal of a deal at well under $2 per carat!

Size: 63x27mm
