That's a beauty! You can make some nice cabs out of that stuff. I would collect as much of that stuff as you can find. You can slab it, and/or cab it, or tumble it, or just leave it rough. No matter what you do to it will make you some extra cash if you decide to sell it. My favorite Oregon material is Succor Creek picture jasper, but that stuff is nice!

Is there more to be found in the area?

Thanks for showing us!

Well, it may have come from a source upstream somewhere. Is it mountainous there? some folks take on the challenge to find the source.

Good luck and keep your eyes open for more!

Considering that i tore up my leg pretty bad and almost broke my ankle on that hike i will have to give it awhile before i go back.I never did go all the way up this canyon so there could be more up there.

Definitely jasper. That sure is beautiful--I bet that was a surprise when you cut it.
