Blue Mountain Picture Jasper Necklace

This is a Blue Mountain Picture Jasper Necklace that I recently made for sale. The necklace is made with a black genuine leather cord that I tied with sliding knots allowing you to adjust the necklace to your preferred length.

Blue Mountain Picture Jasper is a unique variety of picture jasper that comes from a single mine in McDermitt Oregon. Blue Mountain Picture Jasper is known for its orb and banded patterns along with a nice array of colors. Common colors range from dark blue to olive green, yellow, and gray. This stone is considered rare because it only has one known source.

I went through my normal necklace making process to make this item. Cut a slab, sanded the rough shape, rounded and polished the stone, drilled a hole through the cabochon, then I added a leather cord to complete the necklace.

This necklace was made from the 2nd rough stone of Blue Mountain Picture Jasper that I purchased. The patterns are more fragmented, and erratic compared to the horizontal banding of the first batch. I think this batch of polished pendants turned out awesome. The main colors are gray, yellow, green, and brown.

The length of the necklace cord at its longest setting is about 32" and 17" at the shortest setting.

The dimensions of the pendant stone are 1.80"x 1.05"x .25"
The weight of the pendant is 14 grams or 60 carats
The combined weight of the necklace is 16 grams
