Marra Mamba tigereye cab ~
Offered here is a rare Australian Marra Mamba tigereye cabochon. This startling material is brilliantly chatoyant, with a bright rolling flash you just can't miss, even in these flat digital photos. The color is an amazing shade of fiery copper-red, the most highly prized of all the colors, along with ribbons of light and dark shades of blue. But it also has places where the two primary colors blend together, to beautiful effect. At the ends are patches of shiny metallic hematite & magnetite, and some velvety orange. There are some razor-fine metallic threads in the stone too, a couple pinpoint pits on the front. The backside has a couple too, just so you realize it's not strictly perfect. The stone has a low rounded dome of 4+mm, and is polished front and back.
Size: 32x19mm
Weight: approximately 29 carats
Price: SOLD
