Morrisonite Jasper Polished Stone Slab
This small but lovely Morrisonite Jasper piece is slabbed and polished on one side and it is 2.5 inches by 2.4 inches and 5 mm thick.
Morrisonite Jasper comes from the famous Morrison Ranch above the Owhyee Mountains of southeastern Oregon, in Malheur County near the Idaho border.
Morrisonite Jasper is named after James Morrison, an old timer who lived in and explored the area for 50 years. Though the rock was first available in the early 1930's, it wasn't actually claimed until 1964.
Morrisonite is formed in Rhyolite seams and cracks and is confined to small areas, although the surrounding territory is of the same formation. There were 5 mines where Morrisonite came from, each claim yielded very different colors and patterns.
The area is very rugged and the Morrisonite area is perched on the side of the hill. The Morrisonite area has been closed by the BLM as it is too dangerous.
Metaphysical Properties: Morrisonite, like all picture jaspers, is said to help with relaxation and rejuvenation.
