Blue Mountain Picture Jasper Pendant

This is a drilled Pendant made from Blue Mountain Picture Jasper that I recently created for sale.

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 pendant processes making this item. Cut a slab, sanded the rough shape, rounded and polished, then drilled a hole to finish.

The main colors are dark green, olive green, and yellow.

The rough material was purchased at the Hairy Mosquito Rock and Gem show here in Milaca Minnesota.

The dimensions are 1.6"x .85"x .24"
The weight is 50 carats or 10 grams
