Morrisonite Jasper Rough – Dark Green with Purple and Iconic Flowing Pattern – Display Dome Candidate
This stunning old stock Morrisonite Jasper shows dark green with purple and the iconic flowing pattern this material is known for. There’s room here for multiple slabs for cabs, or it could make a fantastic display piece. Personally I’d be tempted to dome this and turn it into a desk display.

Morrisonite Jasper was a rare old eastern Oregon classic orbicular jasper with exceptional quality. Morrisonite could come in multiple colors and often had orb-shaped structures within it, which created really impressive display slabs or remarkable cabochons. It was highly sought after, but after years of no mining, this jasper is very rare to come by today. Morrisonite is named after James Morrison from the Morrison ranch this material was mined on.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
Dark green and purple with classic flowing pattern is a premium Morrisonite color profile. Substantial enough for either multi-slab cutting or a signature desk-display dome.
