Description
~ Tiger jasper cab ~

Offered here is a lovely cab of tiger jasper from Mexico, something seldom seen these days. This one was cut from some of the best I have left. It features super vivid orange and yellow coloration, with seemingly black splashes that are actually dark silvery hematite. The metallic streaks really set it off, adding a striking contrast, but it was tough to capture that in the photos. I love this stuff, and think it's certainly very aptly named. The cab has a well rounded dome, a gracefully curved designer shape. And, because it is easily as hard as any fine porcelain jasper, this cab has a super glassy *wet ice* polish both front and back.

Size: 64x18mm
Weight: approximately 54 carats
