Boulder Dam Flower Jasper designer gem 8/11/2018 01 - 59 x
25 x 4.2 mm - 41 carats - Here's something you've probably
never seen. Dug by my 1st lapidary teacher Ed Rupprecht,
purchased from his estate through Jason Fabbi and Jaen
Rupprecht, Ed's lovely widow. Thank you! I have not been
able to find any info online about this stone so it may be
an Ed exclusive. Certainly a very rare rock. This was cut
from a single small rough piece labeled "Boulder Dam Flower
Jasper", Jason said Ed dug it on the Arizona side of the
(now called) "Hoover" Dam near Vegas / Boulder City. This
designer flame cabochon has a nicely rounded low dome,
girdled sides and a flat beveled back all with imperfect but
beautiful glossy luster. Here's a short video clip to see
the stone in motion:
