Carasite

It's easy to believe that this material in mined in the same area as Morrison Ranch Jasper---Both have similar ethereal swirls of color and pattern. Much Carasite is a greenish yellow; these reddish browns and caramels are a much rarer color form, and I'm extremely pleased to be able to offer them to you.

Paint Rock

Mined in the searing heat of Death Valley, these pieces resemble timeless brush paintings. They are substantial stones, with a matte finish--actually, a better term might be "satin." In some of them, the black areas have a metallic sheen. They are very striking, yet at the same time, tranquil.  Click on photos to enlarge to see detail.

(Orbicular) Ocean Jasper

This jasper is mined in only one spot in the world, in a place called Moravato, on the Northwest coast of Madagascar. The miners have to take a boat to the site, and can only extract the stone at low tide--hence the name, Ocean Jasper. This jasper comes in two main color themes--greens and yellows, and pinks and teals. All the patterns are pretty, but  the stones containing the circles of color, or orbs, are considered more valuable. The choice is up to you. Each piece is one of a kind.
