This is a face polished Stony Creek Jasper specimen - a colorful, collectible microcrystalline quartz found along Stony Creek in Northern California (primarily Glenn and Tehama counties). It is famous for its vibrant mix of red, greenish-yellow, and translucent chalcedony, often featuring distinctive orbicular or "poppy" patterns. These beautiful high-grade, large-sized orbicular pieces are increasingly scarce which make this a rare find.
