Arizona Peppermint Jasper with Bulls Eye

A cute small Cabochon of the EXTREMELY rare type of Jasper that is found only in Arizona. It's patterns and shading are always different and interesting, at least three shades of tans, browns. This cabochon displays banding on one side and nearly solid maroon/brown on the other; but it has the a very distinct bulls eye on the side. It grows together with gold and holds that energy within its being. It has the banding patterns and looks very similar to Wonderstone that is found in Utah. So the banding it probably also formed from circulating groundwater and the maroon and brown colors are probably due to the presence of iron oxides.
