Chapenite (Siam siding) Jasper, a very colorful brecciated stone with a wide variety of colors and brecciated patterns is found in the Mojave Desert near Fort Irwin, California.
Chapenite brecciated jasper is actually broken fragments of jasper that have been naturally re-cemented together with chalcedony to form a beautiful piece of nature's art.
Chapenite Brecciated Jasper Cabochon; a fancy hand cut and polished semi-precious cabochon made from the rare Chapenite Jasper. The stone is a one-of-a-kind medium height piece of art that looks like a puzzle of colorful stones. The shades of yellow, ocher, pinks and hints of orange decorate the surface. The stone is cut in a skewed Navette or Marquise with both a lower and upper girdle to facilitate stone setting. The specimen is polished to a high vitreous luster.
The cabochon is ideal for a pendant and/or statement piece setting.
