Description Jasper and sterling silver.

Finally found an almost proper red stone to wrap It reminded me of a sunset over the desert with mountains in the distance. (Or perhaps a view of Olympus Mons from the Martian plains...)

Lightning storm on Mars! (I loved the way Carl Sagan said Maaahrs)

Yeah, I don't know if it has the atmosphere for it, but I like the idea

Love the use of the twisted wire around the edge, really gives it a bit of extra sparkle That is a very nice piece of Red Jasper too. Beautiful

I normally use all square or twisted with round, twisted and square don't seem to like each other very much. I like how they looked but they were crabby to work with!

 

Do you know much about jaspers? I feel like a large chunk of the not fossil not labradorite stuff I've bought recently has been labeled jasper with not much else to go on.

I think you're right, I like to use the round and twisted together too, but I'll do twisted and square if someone asks.


Do you have a picture of the stone? I'm pretty good at identifying if I've used it or seen it before, there are a lot of Jaspers out there though lol

Cool, thanks. I like the stone, it always reminds me of hieroglyphics, but never knew the proper name.

I was wondering what type of jasper this guy was. I got another one of similar texture I'll try to get a decent photo of.

I'm thinking this one is either Red River Jasper, or Brecciated Red Jasper.

I was leaning towards those two but couldn't get further, there are so many types

I love the color of the Jasper, and your wire work is lovely, as always.
