While surfing the internet I came across the following...
Coppywin Jasper.
Looks like a bracciated jasper
I cannot find any mention as to where it comes from
Can anyone help?

Hmm, new to me. Only one mention on google, and I don't do Facebook. No mention of just coppywin either

Did some searches as I'd never heard that name before. What I found said it's African in origin . Got to say though that that type of breccia comes from all over the place including the U.S. Very common in the Texas Rio Grande gravels and I have some in the shop and it the rock garden right now that is much more colorful than the material pictured on the web......Mel
