Hornitos Orbicular Poppy Jasper Slab Rough

Description

This is Hornitas Poppy jasper from the Sierra Nevada Range of Eastern California. This particular poppy jasper often is confused with the poppy jaspers of Santa Clara County and is erroneously labeled as either Morgan Hill or Guadalupe jasper and for good reason—it has many similar colors, patterns, and structure of this jasper that is very close, yet it is distinct  in many ways as well as unique. The formation of this jasper probably is very similar to that of Santa Clara County, which involved high pressure, large amounts of hematite that formed a jasper that is highly silicified.  There are a lot of different shades of red, patterns pink and white orbs that will cut some outstanding cabs. However, there are some small fractures on one side of the slab.
Dimensions
This slab measures 4” x 3” and is 7mm thick. And weighs 1041.0g/3.7oz
Photos
All photos of items are taken wet unless otherwise indicated. If it is a cabochon, it will be taken as is.
Photos taken wet stimulate what an unpolished gemstone will look when polished and depict an approximation of the details and colors. Please understand that a dry stone will look different than a wet one and will appear different than the photos taken. All photos are taken outside unless otherwise indicated. Photos taken outside take advantage of the natural light, which gives it the closest approximation of its natural color. I make every effort to give you the best quality images. Yet despite this an image may not exactly appear to be the same as what you observe on your monitor and the item you receive. If there is a discrepancy I will mention this.
PLEASE NOTE: I do not enhance or touch up my photos nor do I touch them up. All photos are as is.
To do otherwise is unethical. I also take several photos as well as close-ups in order for the bidder to view the item at different angels as well as to bring out any flaws. All flaws will be mentioned! However, if for any reason you feel the item was misrepresented or I left something out that leaves you unsatisfied with the item please contact me via e-mail. Any issue can be resolved. You, as a buyer, must be completely satisfied.
Shipping
All purchases are USPS priority mail unless another service is requested.
I do not charge any for handling or shipping material with USPS.
Priority mail is the most reliable, convenient and easiest way for me to ship an item. Although there are cheaper ways to mail an item, obtaining the packaging and boxes and making a trip to the post office is not. Priority mail supplies free material, free pick up, and confirmation and automatic e-mails notifying  the buyer when the package was sent and a tracking number if needed
Satisfaction Guaranteed!
If you are not satisfied with your purchase you can return the item for a full refund as long as the item is unaltered and in the condition it was received. However, bidding too high and realizing that you paid too much for an item is not a reason for breaking a commitment to purchase or returning the item. These cases are usually obvious and transparent. Please understand the seller has to take the hit and loss for all the fees resulting in such a transaction.
