Tahoma jasper cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of collectibly rare Tahoma jasper, collected on the trecherous slopes of Mt. Rainier in Washington state. The local American Indian name for that same mountain is Tahoma, which roughly translates to 'next to heaven', and it is considered to be a sacred place. So, someone chose a great name for this terrific material! This unique cab is a prime example of the best, with a super ornate pattern that's most intriguing. There are bands, lace, water level lines and more in shades of blue/gray, cream, tan, charcoal and brown. Great contrast here, folks! Personally, I think Tahoma jasper must be a mixture of agate and jasper, because not only does this cab have fortifications, but more than half is nicely translucent in a warm golden color. The stone has a high rounded dome, a gracefully curved designer shape, and a fine glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 56x17mm
