Leopardskin Jasper from Mexico
Leopardskin Jasper pendant crafted by hand in a simple sterling silver setting.
This variety of jasper was named for its similarity to the skin of the big cat by the same name.
Leopardskin jasper is a trade name for what is actually an orbicular jasper.
This colourful stone comes primarily from the state of Chihuahua in Mexico.
Although finely polished this stone has a dull lustre. Instead of reflecting light it absorbs it.
