Hampton Butte Pendant




I've made a pendant from some Hampton Butte wood replacement jasper. Jeff Guild and I took a rock hounding trip in August to Oregon and California. It was a great fun and we found some nice stuff. This cabochon is from a slab that Jeff cut from a piece he dug. (He always seems to find the best stuff. Why is that?) Anyway I've been wanting to get back to the jeweler's bench and making more jewelry. So here is my latest creation. I can't wait to get back to Hampton Butte and do some more digging. I figure Jeff couldn't have taken all the good jasper.
