morrisonite jasper cab ~
Offered here is an awesome 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 an outstandingexample, with a wild pattern of streamers and more in blended shades of avocado against a background of creamy golden chiffon. Nice accents of rusty orange too. It's a beaut! The stone has a well rounded dome of 5mm, and a sweet designer shape, polished to perfection both front and back.
Size: 48x18mm
Weight: approximately 28 carats
