Bruneau jasper cab ~
Offered here is a distinguished cabochon of Bruneau Canyon jasper, from Idaho. It features an outstanding pattern of full orbs, one in front of the other, in rich shades of creamy peach, against a burnt orange body. There's a touch of translucency present in the darker areas. Sadly, the best of this hard porcelain-like jasper is becoming alarmingly scarce and spendy these days, and the claim owner tells me the access route is extremely diffucult terrain. Bruneau jasper remains a classic favorite, and I love the stuff! It takes an outrageously glassy polish, and when it's perfectly patterned like this cab is, it is sought after by collectors and designers alike. The stone has a well rounded dome of 5.5+mm, a versatile designer 'flame' shape, and a brilliant polish both front and back.
