Was looking at the Biggs jasper at the sale,but a $50.00 a pound,there was no way in hell,I was going to buy any amount.... Stopped in at Al's Rock Shop in Corvallis,Oregon and he gave me a heck of a deal on some smaller Biggs...    |

A long time ago, I got a few slabs that contained opal and agate seams. A really wild mixture.
Loved working with it.
If you ever come across material like that, please give me a shout-out, as I would love to get more.

brown chocolate Biggs from Wasco,Oregon, brown picture jasper from Millers ranch. Though that was a log time age. true Biggs is from Biggs junction,Oregon Biggs got it colors from sea floor sediments from the last 70 glacier strata beds at dry fall Washington. and the geothermal vents off the Oregon coast. and a cap of anducite basalt flow. theirs been two events to cap the Biggs 130 million / and 65 million. polish jct. biggs high gloss...../ Wasco, you well see the deterrents.
Or its just picture jasper. better material in cottage grove res.
