Bruneau jasper cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of classic Bruneau Canyon jasper, from Idaho. It features an outstanding pattern of half orbs, one upon another, in rich shades of creamy peach. The orbs contrast nicely against a backdrop of burnt orange background. Sadly, the best of this hard porcelain-like jasper is becoming alarmingly scarce and spendy these days, and the claim owner says the access route winds through extremely difficult terrain. And that's before he even gets down to the truly hard work of mining. Bruneau jasper remains a favorite, and I love the stuff! It takes an outrageously glassy polish, and when it's beautifully patterned like this cab is, it is sought after by collectors and designers alike. The stone has a low rounded dome of about 5mm, a crisp designer 'spearhead' shape, and a brilliant polish both front and back.
