The green/tan pieces I have do resemble Bogwood from McDermitt, Oregon. But they are very lightweight compared to Arizona wood or Madagascar Wood for example. The don't look "jaspery" either, they look "dry" not real sure they'd take a polish. But I'm big on Locations, so I'd like to start with the weight to see if I'm on track with the Locality.

Many "jaspers" are not jaspers. I...Yes. Many "jaspers" are not jaspers. It's often a trade name, not a mineralogical name. Drives people who try to keep accurate track of this sort of stuff crazy.<br /><br />At least it is silicon dioxide, in most cases, just not a true jasper. Jade is far worse when it come to simulants.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419698907529702426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944669718301267262.post-76527935315302999612018-05-24T17:18:24.774-07:002018-05-24T17:18:24.774-07:00Why is it called jasper if it is not quartz jasper...Why is it called jasper if it is not quartz jasper. seems very misleading. Now I am wondering; Is picasso jasper actually jasper? Zebra? Cherry creek? Unakite? Mookite? What the heck?
