Ok realrockhound - I won't force you against your will. Can you tell me this much - Are Deer Sky, Succor Creek, and Cripple Creek all Owyhee Jaspers? That would make this make more sense somehow.

I believe you need to distinguish between Owyhee and Owyhee picture. There is a ginormous amount of material coming out of the Owyhee mountains.

Isn't it if there isn't a picture on the jasper it is not Owyhee Picture Jasper?😂 Nope. One of the most famous and rarest picture jaspers is Vistaite. Literally right out side of town here in the ochocos. Then you got Biggs etc.. all close by

I have slabs/chunks from my grandpa of various materials with rock bottom prices on them. Some of which are blue Biggs with $1.50 written on them 😂

Thank you, my lord houndington, sir keeper of the rock.
For being biggs, it sure feels different to the touch. Maybe a 1950's saw blade and time took away that smooth feel.
I thought that $2 was cheap....lol But I haven't found blue biggs at $1.50. I guess at that price, he felt safe chopping them up to bits - which would be why I have so many BB preforms!

There are 93 named varieties of Owyhee jaspers and lots of small pocket or un-named varieties. There are a couple of different books on them, might be something to watch out for.
