This slab of Blue Mountain Jasper has neat orbicular pattern, but it does have some defects in the form of natural pitting. This well-known Oregon classic was originally mined by Cop Kapensky. This one may need to be treated to cab, or could make a nice practice slab. It does have some neat orbs though and is still worth the time for learning cabochon work.
