Owyhee Picture Jasper (pronounced Oh-WAH-hee), comes from the rugged Owyhee mountain area situated on the Idaho-Oregon border, just south of Homedale, Idaho.
Owyhee Jasper is another one of the very popular picture jaspers, known for their depictions of mountain or desert scenery, with or without the "blue sky"!
It is said that this material was found in the 1967 by Bruce Markus and Ralph Fulson while they were following wild Mustangs in their V.W. They saw the pretty rock and collected a few hundred pounds. Later they came back and claimed the area.
The mine very isolated and overlooks the Owyhee River. I have heard that the mine is now buried in and closed.
Metaphysical Properties: Owyhee Jasper, as with all Picture Jaspers is said to help bring balance to your life.
