🪷 Gunnery Point Jasper – Cut Face Chunk with Light Pattern, Old Stock Arizona Jasper
This is a cut and proven chunk of Gunnery Point Jasper, featuring a clean saw-cut face that reveals light but distinct Gunnery Point patterning. While subtle, the markings hint at the scenic, wave-like textures this rare jasper is known for. This piece is old stock material and perfect for cabbing, trimming, or adding to your collection of classic American jaspers.
Gunnery Point Jasper originates from Arizona and has not been actively mined since the 1960s, when the original deposit was incorporated into the MCAS Yuma Bombing Range. What remains in the market today is limited to pre-restriction stock, making any piece of Gunnery Point a rare and nostalgic find for lapidarists.

Photo Disclaimer
To best showcase the color, pattern, and potential of each stone, most photos are taken with the material wet to simulate the appearance of a polished finish. The final photo is taken dry to help highlight any natural surface imperfections such as fractures, pits, or voids. Please review all images carefully before purchasing.
I strive to provide accurate, unedited photos that represent each stone as naturally as possible. While I do not use filters or enhancements, please note that colors may appear slightly different depending on your screen’s brightness, contrast, and settings. All photos are taken with my monitor set to default display settings for the most neutral representation.
Natural Stone & Fossil Disclaimer
All of the stones and fossils offered here are natural materials formed over millions of years through geological and organic processes. As a result, it is completely normal for them to exhibit natural fractures, pits, inclusions, voids, and other surface or internal features that reflect their ancient origins.
These characteristics are not flaws—they are part of what makes each piece unique. We encourage you to review all product photos carefully and research the properties of each material before purchasing to ensure it meets your expectations.
