This gorgeous and increasingly rare gemstone is a Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper.

Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper is a famous, but increasing rare orbicular jasper with red and yellow dots of ‘poppy flowers’, hence its name.

It is a brecciated jasper, meaning it probably came from sun-dried and oxidized iron rich clay, The cracks were filled in by other substances.

Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper is found near the city of Morgan Hill in Santa Clara County in Northern California. It is found primarily on the back side of the El Toro Mountain Peak. The vein runs for several miles and is found in four known locations. All of which are on private property, with one spot being in a state park. Unfortunately the owners of the properties do not allow access and the state is quick to prosecute if they catch you digging there. There are some owners occasionally bringing material out, but it is very scarce.

Stone: Natural Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper.
Material: 925 Solid Silver.
Approx pendant size: 32mm x 33mm. 
 

Beautiful Gemstones Designed by Nature

The Henryka Designer Gemstones Collection is a celebration of completely natural and beautifully rare gemstones from across the world.

Each gemstone is carefully hand-chosen by us for its natural and un-treated colours and patterns. We look for vibrant gemstones we know you will love, as well as rare gemstones you may have never even heard of from all corners of the earth.

Instead of seeking perfection, we choose gemstones based on the natural quirks and inclusions that make them entirely unique. This means incredible stripes, bold spots, wave-like ripples and swirls that give each gemstone its own unique fingerprint.

These characterful gemstones are then cut, polished and set BY HAND into silver jewellery designs, from statement necklaces to rings, earrings and bracelets. When wearing a piece of Henryka Designer Gemstone jewellery, you can be assured that no one will ever be wearing the same piece. It is individual to you.
