This is a fabulous freeform designer cabochon made of Owyhee Picture Jasper. It's mined in the Owyhee mountain range along the Idaho and Oregon border. This cabochon weighs 9.9 grams and measures 61mm x 37mm (widest point).
Owyhee Picture Jasper has a myriad of colors, from sienna brown, rust, tan, blue and beige to white. Lots of earth tones, soothing and unique.

This is a matched pair of Porcelain Jasper cabochons. I love this material. It's great to work with and the results are always awesome.
These cabochons measure 35mm in length by 22mm and 21mm at their widest point. One is slightly (1mm) smaller than the other, it's not noticable.
These are cream-colored jasper with patterns of mauve to purple.
This material is also called Sci-Fi Jasper and Exotica Jasper.

A beautifully banded Rhodochrosite freeform designer cabochon. Rhodochrosite is a mainly pink to white, gray, or brown mineral whose name means 'rose-colored' in Greek. It is a soft mineral, often difficult to do lapidary work with because it is so soft. Mined mainly in Colorado and Argentina, it is considered rare. It is a calcite composed of Manganese Carbonate.

I uncover works of art made by Mother Nature. My cabochons are hand-selected minerals from around he world. They are cut, shaped and polished by hand, never tumbled. It's what I enjoy doing, this is my art.
