Материал из Онлайн справочника
Bruneau jasper is a variety of the mineral jasper. It is a "picture jasper" – a jasper that exhibits particular patterns and colors – and is used as an opaque gemstone.
The stone exhibits layered patterns of brown, reddish brown and cream color,[1] or sometimes of red and green color.[2] It was discovered in the Bruneau River canyon in Idaho,[1] near the bottom of the canyon walls,[2] where the rhyolite in which the jasper occurs is exposed for a length of Шаблон:Convert.[3]
As of 2009 Bruneau jasper was no longer in production, and was difficult to locate.[1]
