Gem Jaspers - Part 2

Posted Sep-21-06 00:14:25 PDT Updated May-15-07 10:51:14 PDT

Another group of Jaspers from my older posts to Boards. I don't sell much, but you can find similar examples elsewhere on ebay. As those Board threads have long since disappeared, I thought these interesting stones deserve another look...


Flowers in Guadalupe Poppy Jasper (California)

Left: Locust in Owyhee Jasper (Oregon)    Right: A toe - Morrison Ranch Jasper (Oregon)

  
Left: An eye in Biggs Jasper (Oregon)    Right: Chinese landscape in Deschutes Jasper (Oregon)

On to other rocks later.

I remembered your ID from those old "weird rocks" threads. It can get frustrating buying stones online. For one thing, stones are often mis-identified or misleadingly identified. And the quality of the pieces can vary considerably. That said, there are some people on ebay who cut their own stones, and do fabulous work.

I've sent you a message with some current auctions of interesting stones that I like, from skilled and reputable lapidary artisans. I've never sold a stone on ebay, but one of these days I do need to clear out some stones of which I have multiple examples. If only to make room in my trays so I can buy more ;-)
