🏞️ Biggs Picture Jasper Rough – Old Stock with Scenic Hills & Druzy
This is a trimmer chunk of old stock Biggs Picture Jasper from North Central Oregon, sourced from the scenic Columbia River valley. It features a natural window with rolling hill patterns and even displays a touch of quartz agate druzy—a feature that occasionally occurs in premium Biggs material. While the interior remains a mystery, this piece holds strong potential for cabbing or display and offers a rare glimpse into a historic American jasper deposit.

Biggs Picture Jasper comes from a small region near Biggs Junction, Oregon, and is considered one of the most iconic and collectible picture jaspers in the world. Known for its earth-toned scenic patterns that resemble valleys, rolling hills, and desert landscapes, this material formed through complex sedimentary and volcanic processes over millions of years. It often includes subtle dendrites, banding, and rare instances of blue or lavender tones. Biggs has a long-standing reputation among lapidary artists for its natural beauty and historical significance, and with most of the original dig sites now depleted, old stock chunks like this are becoming increasingly scarce.
📝 Natural Stone Disclaimer:
All of the stones and fossils offered here are natural materials formed over millions of years through geological and organic processes. As a result, it is completely normal for them to exhibit natural fractures, pits, inclusions, voids, and other surface or internal features that reflect their ancient origins.
These characteristics are not flaws—they are part of what makes each piece unique. We encourage you to review all product photos carefully and research the properties of each material before purchasing to ensure it meets your expectations. If you have any questions about a specific piece, feel free to contact us before ordering.
🖼️ Photo Disclaimer:
To best showcase the color, pattern, and potential of each stone, most photos are taken with the material wet to simulate the appearance of a polished finish. The final photo is taken dry to help highlight any natural surface imperfections such as fractures, pits, or voids. Please review all images carefully before purchasing.
Photos are taken with my monitor set to default display settings to minimize distortion. Colors may vary slightly depending on your screen.
