“Go West, young man!”
-Horace Greely
This quote, credited to American author Horace Greely, concerns the United States’ westward expansion and the concept of Manifest Destiny which was popular during the 19th century. The idea of westward expansion comes to mind when admiring Jake Jasper’s extraordinary Willow Creek Jasper cabochon set. The cabochons featured in this set embody the region of the Western US where the material was found. Mined 15 miles north of Eagle, Idaho (not far from Boise), Willow Creek Jasper is highly prized and known for its subtle pastel colors and interesting patterns.
Totaling 16 pieces and displaying superb shades of brown, tan, gray, and ivory, the cabochons in this set show spectacular configurations, lines, and banding that are almost a postcard of the land from which it was mined. Working with old-stock material of some of the finest-quality Willow Creek Jasper available, Mr. Jasper was able to live up to his namesake by carving this magnificent cabochon set to show off the material’s finest attributes.
Jasper is a microcrystalline variety of Quartz, and a member of the Chalcedony family. Jasper often contains organic material and iron oxides, which account for its incredible patterning, bands, and coloring. “Go West!” and take home this beautiful Willow Creek Jasper set today!
