Here's another gorgeous rock from Down Under (Australia for those of you in Rio Linda). This Noreena Jasper is something I never saw until Quartzsite this past January, and it's incredibly colorful no matter where it's cut. And much more vivid than the photo shows, too. I have a big chunk of this, polished, which Mrs. Bitter Brook will NOT allow me to cut up. I only have a few slabs to cut, so don't let this one go by. Dimensions: 42.5mm x 27mm x 5.5mm. Weight: 51.70 carats.
