2.4" Polished Spiderweb Jasper Turtle - Oregon

This is a 2.4" long turtle sculpted from spiderweb jasper, from the Heppner area of northeastern Oregon. The mineral has been polished to a glossy finish.

Spiderweb jasper is the name for an olive green and red-brown rhyolite that is found in eastern Oregon. Open cavities can be found throughout this rhyolite, often making the polishing process difficult. Sometimes these cavities are filled with white-colorless or blue agate. It is described as having the appearance of leaves that have fallen onto a spiderweb, likely where the name came from.
