Picture Jasper Rough
This is a beautiful brown, tan, grey, cream and blueish gray jasper that yields interesting pictures and desert scenes when tumbled. We always enjoy opening the barrel at the end of a tumble to see what types of scenes have developed. The gemstones remind us of our trips to Utah and Arizona!
We recommend TXP polish - an aluminum oxide compound - for polishing this picture jasper.
This Picture Jasper rough ranges in size from approximately 3/8" (9 mm) to 1 1/2"" (38 mm) in diameter.
The rough material in the photograph above is wet to show full color. The photograph below is of polished material. |
