This stone has been hand polished by lapidarycentral in the United States. It is polished on the main face. Please check the photos and video for a demonstration of the polishing. Stones can differ piece by piece, and some stones will only take a mirror polish, while others will take a matte polish.

With this polished display specimen, the possibilities are endless! This could be a great piece for the kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, office, or household entrance. Its a great conversation piece, and would add a nice homey touch to any bookcase, display case, entertainment center, counter-top, and more! It could also be a nice collectors piece for an aspiring rockhounding child (pebble pup)! You can't be the natural beauty of this! Stones have also been scientifically proven to have a calming and peaceful effect on those viewing them!

About the Stone:

The Kaleidoscope discovery was made on the winter of 2007/2008 on a prospecting trip with Dale and two of his sons; Derek and myself, in Oregon. The deposit quickly proved beyond a doubt to be one of the most significant deposits ever discovered in the northwest by its vast varieties of color and pattern and Gem Quality Jasper and Agate. Kaleidoscope Jasper comes in so many different colors, patterns, and varieties. The majority of Kaleidoscope is a Bog Wood formation, often containing pieces of wood debris and other organic materials! There are over a dozen varieties from different deposits on the mines, and each year of mining, we seem to find new, fresh, and exciting varieties to introduce! It was first ran by my father, Dale Rhode, and I worked it off and on over the years; however since my fathers passing in 2021, I have since been honored with the chance to continue on with mine and its revival!

Kaleidoscope Jasper is a LapidaryCentral mine, and the only source for authentic fresh dug material is from LapidaryCentral! We are super excited to show you our fresh dug material, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

I do my best to represent the stones with photos. I don't enhance photos, though sometimes brightness and contrast on monitors may differ, and while a photo may look just like the rock on my end, it will sometimes appear brighter or duller on your end. I run my monitor at default brightness and contrast settings. We take our photos either under bright synthetic light or under sunlight. Photos of polished specimens are taken dry.

To clean polished display specimens, we recommend a cheap toothbrush and water. Scrub gently and allow to air dry or wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.

This has been hand polished by Lapidary Central. We loved working with this stone, and are glad its finding a nice home with you! We are still learning the polishing process, so some newbie mistakes may be made. Thank you for purchasing from us though, and allowing us to further work on our polishing skills! Since we are new, we love feedback regarding them, and if you are an experienced polisher, we would love some pointers and tips! Also, some cerium oxide (white residue) may be on the stone. This is harmless, and can generally be removed with water and a toothbrush. We do however do our best to clean them, but the polishing agent can be difficult to see and remove. Hopefully in the future we will be able to expand our shop with a sonic cleaner!
