Morrisonite Jasper Beautiful Beyond Compare
Morrisonite is getting more expensive. Dealers are hording it. Inferior material is showing up everywhere because most just can't get the good material. I see a lot of people selling (and buying) crappy Morrisonite that I would not even give two cents for. If you want to see why real gem Morrisonite is sought after click here. So, get the gem stuff here while you still can and while I can still offer it! All my Morrisonite are quality specimens. All my Morrisonite is directly from the original mines in the Owyhee Mountains of Oregon, from one of the original owners of the mine. Which means...only 3 people have touched or seen (including myself) this rough since it was mined and stored in dry barrels over 30 years ago. No pitting, just smooth glass like porcelain.
Please wait for the downloads you will not be disappointed.

This item's description: Without a question one of the most spectacularly pieces yet on EBay. It is the end piece of one of my show pieces click here to see. This outstanding piece does have a flaw. A partly healed fracture in the middle (See DRY). But, if you let that stop you I am sure the snipers would smile and say thank you. The fracture is only 1 1/4 long and does not go to edges. It is insolated to the middle and does NOT move or separate in anyway when great pressure is applied. It is no big deal. A simple fix. Any cabber will tell you to seal it over with Hot Stuff and then you can trim or cab without any fear of it coming apart. As a display...same thing Hot Stuff will seal it and then you just polish. Amazingly enough it will then look just like a glass smooth solid healed fracture. I did this same thing on my show piece (see link above). Anyway, hopefully I belayed any fears. This is a gotta have. ( 3 1/2 x 2 1/8 x 1/4)
See below for more auction details.

Some more auction details:
I typically don't slab out high end specimens like these, mainly because people like customized cab thickness or display pieces. So, I’m leaving the fun of cutting up to you. Consequently, I have only cut thin slices to prove the color and quality. NOTE: I only cut slabs and sell rough. I just don't have the time for anything else, therefore, all my offerings are the best CHOICE fresh cut pieces.
Lighting: Solux 4700K Full daylight spectrum flood. So, the colors are close to true as if you took the specimen out into the sunlight. Specimens might appear darker in yellow indoor lighting. All specimen photo's are taken wet unless otherwise noted in the auction.
Condition: Like most ROUGH material that has been changed by the forces of nature there are bound to be flaws. If fractures are in the main cabing areas (center or significant design area) I'll call it out. But rest assured if I say GEM that means no stress fractures on the sliced face or major working area and no pitting. Like most serious Morrisonite display collectors like myself, natural open or healed fractures (not stress fractures) most often times adds to the beauty, sometimes you want them, sometimes not (see my display masterpieces in progress), but in competition you want the least as possible. In working cabs it's important not to have large deep stress fractures...I understand...you don't want it falling apart in your hand. Any good caber as you know can sand out or fill in tiny flaws without most anyone knowing. But with Morrisonite the beauty overwhelms any natural flaws. If you are a purest like myself and have questions...just ask...I'm easy. Morrisonite will always be my passion. Look for my competition Morrisonite display in most future large shows...I'm going to make the judges crap their pants.
Measurement: Taken at longest or widest point. Note: End piece thicknesses do vary from 2 mm up to 2 inches sometimes, so measurement is only at the thickest point.
