One of five 'fine' jaspers, the others being Blue Mountain, Imperial, Willow Creek and Bruneau. This jasper is extremely rare and hard to find. It was found in the Owyhee Mountains of Eastern Oregon near the Idaho border where most of it was mined out by the 70's. The first discovery of Morrisonite Jasper is attributed to the Morrison family, who owned and operated the Morrison Ranch in the early 20th century. The jasper was initially identified on their property, and it became known as “Morrisonite” due to its source location.
