Deschutes Jasper Cabochon

This hand-cut cabochon showcases the exceptional beauty of rare Deschutes Jasper, a highly prized gemstone found near the Deschutes River in Oregon, just outside of Biggs Junction. Formed millions of years ago through ancient volcanic activity, Deschutes Jasper is celebrated for its stunning, scenic patterns that often resemble painted desert landscapes. Its warm earthy tones—rich browns, reds, and taupes—are completely natural and highly distinctive.

No longer actively mined, genuine Deschutes Jasper has become increasingly rare and collectible. This cabochon has been carefully shaped and polished by hand to enhance its natural detail and luster, making it an ideal centerpiece for fine artisan jewelry, wire wrapping, or lapidary collections. A true one-of-a-kind piece that reflects the artistry of nature and skilled craftsmanship.
