I just picked up these two slabs because they are stunning the colors remind me of wonderstone I'm usually pretty good at figuring out jaspers out of Oregon. But this one has me stumped.

I can look through my books tomorrow, but it doesn't look familiar- or, rather, it does, it looks like several species put together. Gorgeous!

It doesn't remind me of a bunch of stuff put together and I couldn't resist it ! The picture of it in the saw is SICK! It looks like a mix of Wild Horse, Original, Rocky Butte, and Flower!

I looked through Hans Gamma's Rock Treasures of Oregon and didn't see any one thing that it might be. I'd say that was a good catch! You have something special. If you were to cut, I see a lot of nice cabs.
Eta- I just noticed that roy has a credited photo of Bigg's Jasper in the book.

I searched through a ton of pictures last night and couldn't find anything close either.
Maybe I should get a couple more slabs 😊

My personal beliefs. I think it’s a nice piece of wild horse. I’ve seen those lil plumes in wild horse before.

I have several old stock Wild horse slabs and rough and while some have those what I call "feathers" or flowers, I've yet to see WH with those colors. It's more the blues with tans/creams
Also to note this came in a crate with owhyee. Which leads me back to it possibly being 'flower" owhyee

Which leads me back to it possibly being 'flower" owhyee I just cabbed a slab of Owyhee flower jasper and it doesn't look like your slab. In the book, there were 3 stones that each had some aspect of yours going on- but not enough to call it that. It's unusual. That yellow especially.

Im still researching, but I agree. It may be just a one of a kind.
On a side note the gentleman I got this from has a beautiful slab of owhyee flower jasper, I may have to add to the box.
