~ Marra Mamba tigereye
cab ~
Here
is a prime cabochon of rare Marra Mamba tigereye,
from Australia. This startling material is, in my
opinion, the most awesome tigereye in the world,
and this little gem's a splendid example of the
finest quality. It features amazingly colorful
pearly chatoyance in blended hues of purple, pink,
orange, yellow, green and blue, a veritable
rainbow that rolls and flashed through the stone.
Streaks of red, too, and detailed areas of shiny
metallic hematite. Looked at a certain way, the
stone is weirdly scenic, with one patch of
hematite resembling a tree, against the
'chatoyance' of an aurora borealis sky. There's
not a lot of jasper in this one, but what there is
adds nicely to the colorful display, in shades of
ochre, red, navy blue and orange. The flipside is
amazing too, so I couldn't resist adding an extra
pic to illustrate it. The cab has a high rounded
dome of 6mm, a crisply bold designer shape, and a
glassy polish both front and back.
