Tahoma jasper cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of collectibly rare 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 fine example, with a sparkly crystalline core, framed by muted blue, gold and brown figures. It does have a few of the typical hairlines, yet the cab remains quite sound. The stone has a low rounded dome of 5mm, and a rectangular designer shape, nicely polished both front and back. There is a small druzy vug on the backside.
Size: 38x18mm
Weight: approximately 41 carats
Price: SOLD See current gemstones for sale
