Marra mamba 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 color is an amazing shade of fiery copper-red, the most highly prized of all the colors, as well as ribbons of light and dark shades of blue. But it also has places where the colors blend together, to beautiful effect. One end has patches of shiny metallic hematite & magnetite, and the other has hematite in bands, while both ends have velvety chatoyance in burnt orange and a bit of ochre colored jasper. The metallics at either end are actually quite shiny to the eye, though the camera records them as being dark. It's an awesome GEMMY example anyone would be proud to own. The stone has a nicely rounded dome of 6mm, an elongated ovoid shape, and an excellent glassy polish. The back is unpolished, but very smooth. My per carat price is a steal of a deal!
