Morrisonite jasper cab ~
Offered here is an attractive cabochon of premium morrisonite jasper, from the old Morrison Ranch digs in Oregon. I have a huge parent chunk of this material, and even after cutting from it for years, it has continually surprised me by changing patterns dramatically from one slice to the next. That's the way it goes, part of the wonder that keeps me fired up about lapidary! Morrisonite is RARE material, the most sought after member of the porcelain jasper family, called the king of jaspers by many. This stone is a fine example, with a unique pattern of streamers and more in blended pastel shades of gold, slate blue, and burnt orange, against a background of peachy chiffon. Nice accents of rusty red too. It's a beaut! The stone has a well rounded dome of 6mm, and a gracefully curved designer shape, polished to perfection both front and back.
Size: 50x25mm
Weight: approximately 55 carats
