Rainforest Jasper Gemstone Cabochons Jewelry Design Beautiful Pendants and Matched Pairs
An example of some beautiful Rainbow Jasper in slab form. This particular example really has a great variety of jasper colors. I do have this available in stock and can be cut and shaped in any way that a jewelry designer would like. I have talked before about how important it can be for a gemstone jewelry designer to consider building a relationship with a lapidary.
This is an example of updates a designer can receive from their lapidary that may well be available to designers who the lapidary has established a working relationship with.
This particular mineral really makes beautiful gemstones for wire wrapping, bezel settings and silversmith design.
If your a designer who enjoys designing your jewelry around unique and unusual shaped gemstones then such a relationship is important.
I do have other types of jasper, but just wanted to share this special Rainforest Jasper. If you enjoy these awesome colors and would like to have pieces cut from it so as to be able to design a unique piece of jewelry, just ask.
Stones can be shaped with specifics in mind. Bezel type settings, pendants, and even matched pairs for beautiful earrings.
It takes two slabs from the same piece of rough to be able to accomplish a perfectly matched pair. It can not be done from a single slab. Stop by the Lapidary / Gemstone Community forum to learn more.

You can simply go to the part within the site called “gemstone products”, or “products Pages” Iris.
There is a nice selection of stones there, or I can custom cut, and shape gemstones any way you request. Some people like to design the jewelry around what they would like the gemstones to look like.

hello all,
That is some very nice jasper, where is it from? You are right that it would look great wrapped with silver wire perhaps.
Is the best jasper still found in Madagascar? I know it can be found in many countries, even Canada has some in British Columbia. It is a milky white with darker green spots in it; called “dallasite” by some.
looking good….south sea pearl

Hello South Sea Pearl,
Yes, this is a very beautiful Jasper. It is from Australia.
The Ocean Jasper you reference from Madagascar is right up there on top as far as outstanding Jaspers go. Here are some examples of this Rainforest Jasper in finished cabochon form.
Another truly beautiful I have recently began to offer is a Morrisonite Jasper. Also I have taken a liking to a Willow Creek Jasper. The Morrisonite can no longer be mined. So what is on the market now will be all unless something changes.
Here are just a few examples of some beautiful Morrisonite in rough form, and then here are some examples of finished cabochons.
I must admit that I am just not familiar with the Dallasite you mentioned from Canada. I am going to ask around about it now..
Thanks for stopping in and asking about these. It is one of my personal favorites!
