Marra mamba cab ~
Offered here is an amazing cabochon of rare Marra Mamba tigereye, from Australia. This startling material is brilliantly chatoyant, with a bright rolling flash you just can't miss, even in these flat digital photos. It has distinct areas of fiery copper-red, the most highly prized of all the colors, as well as light and dark shades of blue. But it also has places where the colors mix together, to beautiful effect. At one side there is a thin band of chatoyant burnt orange with hematite, and at the other there's metallic hematite & magnetite streaks. Those dark flecks are actually quite shiny to the eye, though the camera records them as being dark. It's an awesome GEMMY example, with no jasper at all. The stone has a nicely rounded dome of nearly 5mm, a fat designer 'crescent' shape, and an excellent glassy polish both front and back. My per carat price is a steal of a deal!
