A fabulous and very rare hand cut Deschutes Scenic Jasper cabochon, beautifully wrapped in copper wire. The pendant measures 35 x 60 mm and is strung on 3 mm supple dark brown Greek leather cord measuring 17” with a wire hook closure. There is also a 2” extension chain finished with a smoky quartz wire wrapped drop.
Deschutes Picture Jasper comes from Oregon and was discovered by Hoot Elkins. It has long since been mined out, and is considered to be a rare collectable Jasper which is highly prized by jewellers and collectors for its beautiful polish and earthy landscape detail.
