Outback Jasper Slab

This material comes from western Australia, near Payne’s Find, a former gold-rush settlement. It was inadvertently discovered within chert formations by gold prospectors, who were in the area on a search at the time they found it. It displays dark, painterly strokes amidst an array of pastel colors, all encased within a deep ochre base. Somewhat reminiscent of butterfly wings.

This is a rough, unpolished slab. Please observe images closely for flaws, as some degree of that is normal. Pictured wet and dry.
