morrisonite jasper cab ~
Offered here is a spendidly unique cabochon of premium morrisonite jasper, from the old Morrison Ranch digs in Oregon. I have a large 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! Anyway, 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 delightful example, a study in the theme of green (my personal favorite), composed of avocado, pistachio, forest greens, and some areas leaning toward gold and lime. Add in a few hints of rust to round out the palette. Reminds me of spring, and it's a beauty! The stone has a well rounded dome of 5mm, and a plump designer 'crescent' shape, brilliantly polished both front and back.
