Ochoco Sunset Jasper is an agate mined by Bill Quant in Oregon's Ochoco Mountains. It's a jasp-agate with considerable variety - it can have marcasite-like pattern, moss agate, fish egg patterns, and often features an attractive sunset-like scene with warm colors. Not much of this material ever reached the market, and the late Bill Quant's work makes it a memorial to his Oregon rockhounding legacy.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
The oolitic galaxy pattern is among the most striking looks this material produces. A large old stock chunk of a stone that rarely reached the market.
