Summer Coon Red Jasper

[Rio Del Norte]

About 4 million years ago the Summer Coon valcano was active about 6 miles west of my house. It formed this distinctive red jasper and was used by the NA for many purposes.
This core shows some use probably as a pecking stone and has a beautiful color. I use bees wax to bring out its luster.
