Owyhee Jasper is a type of semi-precious gemstone that is found in the Owyhee Mountains region of eastern Oregon in the United States. It is known for its distinctive green, brown, and sometimes reddish colors, as well as its interesting patterns and swirls.

The jasper is formed from volcanic ash and other minerals that have been compressed and heated over time. The unique coloration of Owyhee Jasper is believed to be caused by the presence of iron and other minerals.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Owyhee Jasper is also believed to have metaphysical properties that can promote feelings of tranquility, grounding, and stability. Some people also believe that it can help to stimulate creativity and encourage a sense of adventure and exploration.
