No One Knows the Jasper I Have Seen

So many folks if given the word gemstone, usually associate it with Diamond, Sapphire, Emerald, or Ruby.  And that is a fair association.  I love all of those sparkling gemstones, but since I have discovered semi-precious gemstones, my appreciation of gemstones in total has truly grown.

 

As a matter of fact, I am fascinated by stones like Jasper, Agate. Quartz, Chalcedony, Moonstone and Prehnite just to mention a few.

I would like to share a few of my favorite cabochons with you, which happen to be mostly Jasper and Agate,  and I hope you share my fascination.  Each cab seems to be a natural work of art in it's own right!

One of my favs, Mexican Fire Opal
