Favorite jaspers are a constantly moving target for me. Right now, these three rank pretty high:
1) Ocean Jasper (Madagascar)
2) Rose Eye Jasper (Eastern Oregon)
3) Poppy Jasper (all types, but especially Guadalupe, Hornitos and Morgan Hill)

1) Ocean Jasper (Madagascar) 2) Rose Eye Jasper (Eastern Oregon) 3) Poppy Jasper (all types, but especially Guadalupe, Hornitos and Morgan Hill) Rose Eye is on my list, too, though most I see these days is so riddled with holes and shrinkage fissures that result in lots of waste. Surely has pretty patterns. |

Wow, that's a gorgeous piece and job! Just 3? Vistaite would be 1st; Deschutes and Blue Biggs would tie for 2nd; Hart Mt, Willow Creek and Rim (the old kind with red and green) would tie for 3rd. But really, the thing about jaspers is that I can be blown away by pieces from just about any locale - I never know when I'll find an individual piece with great patterns and/or colors from even places that normally don't produce stuff that catches my eye. |

Stellar! Love the color pallet.
3 favs?.... OJ, willow creek, deshcutes. But, my mind could change tomorrow especially concerning the Poppy Jaspers.

That is an amazingly beautiful heart! It looks like it's double-sided - yes?
Can't pick just 3 - I love all of the porcelain jaspers and Imperial is on that list and a bunch of others.

I'm going to clarify the question as 3 favorites to work on. I need two lists fantasy and reality.
Fantasy: Morrisonite, Blue Biggs, Ocean Jasper. I doubt I will be able to get the best examples of the material.
Reality: Morgan Hill. Owyhee, Blue Mountain. I have a long list of favorites.

1. Bruneau. 2. Bloodstone. 3. Ocean. And the list goes on. I think jaspers have more potential than agates.
What a beautiful heart! Looks perfect. Those sharp edges add a lot to the neat look, I think.
