Tahoma jasper cab ~
Offered here is a splendid cabochon of Tahoma jasper, from the slopes of Mt. Rainier in Washington state. The local American Indian name for that same mountain is Tahoma, which translates roughly to 'next to heaven', and it is considered to be a sacred place. So someone chose a great name for this terrific and very rare material! This cab is a marvelous example, with an intriguing display of billowy plumes, with several shades of light and dark slate blues, with taupe & white, as well as golden yellow tones. Great contrast here, and because it's a mixture of agate and jasper, there's more than a little translucence present too. This stone has next to none of the all too typical fractures, though there are some healed black veins present
Size: 28x18mm
