Outback Jasper is a rare seam jasper found in Western Australia, near Payne's Find, known for its stunning scenic patterns and vibrant range of colors. It forms within layers of banded chert and often displays dendritic-like formations in hues of green, black, brown, white, and occasionally soft pinks. This material is highly distinctive, with few jaspers on the market offering a similar look or origin.
Outback Jasper typically takes a good polish and produces highly detailed cabochons with unique natural scenes. According to the original miners, the primary deposit has now been fully tapped out, making this already scarce material even harder to find. With its bold patterns, polished quality, and depleted status, Outback Jasper remains a prized choice for collectors and lapidary artists alike.
