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, in lovely sunset hues, framed by muted blue and brown finger-like clouds & plumes. It does have a few of the typical hairlines, yet the cab remains quite sound. The stone has a high rounded dome of 7.5mm, and a designer 'pillow' shape, nicely polished both front and back.
Size: 40x18mm
Weight: approximately 49 carats
Price: SOLD See current gemstones for sale
