Title: Noreena jasper
Post by: Ryaly2dogs on June 13, 2020, 10:56:54 AM

4.5-inch diameter sphere of Noreena jasper from Pilbara region of Australia.  This material is reportedly a silicified mudstone of all things, showing more reds and less yellow.

Nice one.  I always enjoy when they have some of the black in the mix.  Doesn't seem as common and whenever I see some I try to acquire some.

Lovely work, lovely piece. Noreena often reminds me of Cherry Creek jasper.

Agree with the comparison to Cherry Creek.  That is also a great color combo material.
