Morrison Ranch Jasper
Morrison Ranch Jasper from Oregon, a High-Desert region known locally as "The Owyhees". The Morrison
Ranch Jasper, refered to as Morrisonite represents a better quality Jasper in both color and pattern. There have been 6 Morrisonite claims over the years.
The: Meadowlark, Veronica Lee, Amy Ellen, Christine Marie, Verla Ruth, and the Rocky Rim which was recently Renamed the Rimrock.
The 5 main Morrisonite claims are located inside the "Owyhee River Wild and Scenic Area" and the likelihood of any Jasper production from this mine
is remote.
The Rimrock is outside the ORWSA.

The Owyhees are spectacular with unparalleled beauty as the following pictures from show.
The first views as you look down on the Morrisonite mine location.
This unique little cabin has provided many comfortable nights for miners and travelers alike. The mine is over the hill down the steep mountain face.

The Jasper occurs in cracks and joint unions in a "tuff like" Rhyolite which is very tenacious when it comes to yielding it's Jasper treasure.
Some rough Morrisonite.
