Bruneau Jasper Stone Slab Rough Rock for Cabbing A great slice of the very well known Bruneau Jasper, a beautiful stone that comes from Bruneau Canyon, Idaho. The Greek origin of the word jasper, iaspis, means "spotted stone." This form of chalcedony, or microcrystalline quartz, is usually red, brown or green. Its patterns are much less regular and defined than those of the other chalcedony variety, agate. Another difference between the two is that jaspers are generally opaque, while agates tend to be translucent (or at least contain translucent bands). Shown wet on one side in first picture. Piece is 2.75 inches long by 1.75 inches wide and 4 mm (less than .25 inch) thick. It weighs 1 oz. #4 E-mail a friend about this item. | |||||||||||||||
