This one has been cut and is unpolished. The last photo is taken dry.
This one has been cut on one face, however I do believe I cut it the wrong direction. I had to have another rock shop cut this, and they only had time to make one cut, so sadly I won't get to see for myself. This one has flame showing, which is one of our most popular (and most rare) varieties. There are some soft areas on the other half the boulder, and those areas may need to be treated to be cabbed.
There appears to be room for at least 6 slabs of some really nice quality flame and psuedo-flame, making this one well worth the effort to work around! This is a chance to get some nice cuttings of one of the neatest varieties of Kaleidoscope at a killer price!
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. Sadly, Kaleidoscope Jasper is now considered depleted and is no longer being mined.

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. All rough chunks are generally taken wet with water unless otherwise stated.
