ID Anyone?
« on: January 19, 2017, 11:32:52 AM »
Can anyone give me a positive ID on this picture jasper?  I know it's from the Owyhee area but I can't find a match in Gamma's first edition or on line.  Help appreciated!

I don't have the knowledge base on the Owyhee jaspers, it all kind looks the same to me.
I just wanted to say, great cab !!

Thanks RTD and Stonemon.  Cripple Creek it is -- that's the name that was rattling around in my head but I wasn't sure.  Took another look at Gamma and that's it for sure.

Cripple Creek as shown on p.39 of Hans Gamma's book - Picture Jaspers of the Owyhees.

Yeah, that's where I found it the second time around.  Now you're tuned in, as the resident Brazilian agate expert can you tell me what type this is, if there's a name for it?  I keep thinking Rainbow but I bought the rough years ago and memories fade.
