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 an intriguing display of finger-like clouds and plumes. The colors are typical of the material, with several shades of slate blue, sky blue, butternut yellow and cream. There are a couple all too typical hairlines and two teensy voids, but they're not distracting. The stone has a high rounded dome of 7mm, and a bold designer shape, nicely polished both front and back.
Size: 42x28mm
Weight: approximately 54 carats
