THIS PIECE HAS SOLD, but it is here as an example of this neat material. Known as Sci-Fi Jasper, it is a porcelain jasper from Mexico. It has also been called Exotica. We have seen this material range from absolutely amazing purple, pink and light tan patterns, to blends of those colors, as well as some with darker purples and burgundies. Below are some we have in stock now.
This is an unpolished slice of Sci-Fi Jasper. It's not a large piece but it has layers of the neat patterning this material is known for. It measures 3 1/4" x 1-2 1/2" x about 7.5 mm thick. Weight is 67 grams, or 2.4 ounces.

THIS PIECE HAS ALREADY SOLD, but it represents some of the best of this rare material we acquired from an old collection around 2017. We had never seen material like this before. A fellow rockhound recognized it as 'Arizona Sunset,' also known as 'Gunnery Point Jasper.' We found some data online that it was collected sometime around the 60's but is no longer available for collecting. It was from an old bombing range in Arizona called Gunnery Point, and was reportedly also marketed around that time under that name of Arizona Sunset Jasper.
But as I put up some slabs now in 2022, I have found a few sources of info, like the first two photos here on World of Jaspers, by Hans Gamma, that show a different stone from Burro Creek named 'Sunset Jasper,' and one similar to this piece coming from Alamo Crossing, Mojave County. (I'm guessing the first is not the same as this one which I previously found referred to as Arizona Sunset Jasper' from Gunnery Point.) And there are several types, similar to what we have below, that have been referred to Gunnery Point, or Gunnery Peak. As we did not collect this material ourselves, we are just passing on what we have found online.
We believe this is another piece of Arizona Sunset Jasper, similar-looking matrix but different than those with more of the pink in them. It has already sold, but we might have a few other pieces available. If interested, click 'Contact Us' below to send a message and ask; refer to item #5251.

THIS PIECE HAS ALREADY SOLD, but we do have more, listed below. We found this small batch of rough in Quartzsite one year. The person we bought it from called it Paisley Jasper, and said he collected it himself some years before from Northern Nevada. We thought it was very neat looking material so we bought the batch and offer slices of it below.
This is a slice of colorful jasper, from Northern Nevada. For details about this material, read above here. The person who collected named it Paisley Jasper. It weighs 39 grams, or 1.4 ounces, and measures apx 2 3/8" x 2" x 6.7 to 7.4 mm thick. You can see a fracture line in slide show photos #2, 5 and 6 (barely visible slightly above the center) but I can't see it on the other side; it may or may not be an issue if thought is to cut a large cab. (First Class shipping available on request for less cost.)

Paisley Jasper Slab Item# 5223 Price: $6.00
This is Stony Creek Jasper, collected from Northern California. We did not collect it ourselves, but we got most of it from the person who did. The material we've seen from this area is quite varied in color, but most of what we have are somewhat multi-colored, some more yellows, and some reds, with a few here and there that have greens or other unique mixes. Quite a bit of the rough material looks fractured, but still some really neat pieces that could yield a number of nice cabs or display slices.
This is a Stony Creek Jasper slab. The material comes from the Stony Creek in Northern California. It has some tiny pockets along the charcoal-looking area (might be hematite, has a red streak). It is apx 2" x 3" x 7-7.4mm and weighs 68 grams, or 2.4 ounces. (First Class shipping available on request for less cost.)

Stony Creek Jasper Slab Item# 5235 Price: $3.00
This is another slice off a stone collected from Stony Creek in Northern California, but this one has reds and oranges in it. Several of the white lines you see in it look like Quartz-filled healed fractures. But a couple of them feel like they aren't healed. Still plenty of room for some gorgeous cabs or as a specimen piece. It is about 6" x 2 1/4 to 2 1/2" x 6.8-7.5 mm. It weighs 164 grams, or 5.8 ounces. It is hard to capture the actual coloring of this material - in natural lighting, it is not as bright or as intense as it looks in the photos. But move it into light and it's gorgeous.

Stony Creek Jasper Slab Item# 5238 Price: $12.50
These are pieces of Jasper mostly from the Lavic Siding area of the Mojave Desert, though it is possible a few pieces may not have come from there. This material is wonderful for cutting and polishing, and sometimes there are fabulous pieces with the colors mixed, as in the photo #6. These are mostly smaller sizes, on average - 1" to 3 1/2" and 1/2" to 1 1/2" thick, but could be a few a little larger or smaller. Great for tumbling or cabbing. We have about 10 lbs available at this time. (If you want larger sizes, we have some - please contact us with the size of your saw blade and how many pounds you might be interested in before ordering so we can pull a batch first. Quantity is limited.)

The material in this section is known as Rainbow Ridge, and also known as Rainbow Ledge, jasp-agate (and jasper, agate, jasper-agate). It comes from the Randsburg/Inyokern area of the El Paso Mountains (Mojave Desert of California). Our understanding is the rock club that has the claim on this material says it is actually Rainbow Ledge, but we have even seen it written Rainbow Ridge in some of the gem trail books. Either way, some awesome material has come from this area, and there are a variety pattens we have seen, all in one piece as well as one type of pattern only in some.
