Morrisonite Jasper Jewelry
Morrisonite jasper holds a reputation among collectors as the king of jaspers. Mined from a single remote location in southeastern Oregon near the Idaho border, this material was first discovered by prospector Dudley Stewart in 1947 and named after local explorer James Morrison. The deposit sits miles down rough dirt roads in the Owyhee region, making extraction difficult and supply limited. Our collection features 9 morrisonite pieces priced from $491 to $7530, each set in .925 sterling silver.

Oregon's Rarest Jasper in Sterling Silver Settings
Morrisonite is a cryptocrystalline quartz with a fine-grained porcelain texture that distinguishes it from common jaspers. The material displays rich earth tones with intricate patterns formed over millions of years. Hardness registers at 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for jewelry that sees regular wear. Each cabochon shows the characteristic swirling colors that made Morrison Ranch Jasper a sought-after lapidary material since the 1950s. The mine's remote location in Oregon's high desert means morrisonite enters the market in small quantities. What reaches jewelry production represents a fraction of rough material pulled from the ground. We source stones that show the pattern density and color saturation this jasper is known for, then set them in solid sterling silver designed to protect the stone while letting its natural artwork remain visible. SilverRush Style has offered natural stone jewelry since 2005. Every order ships free within the United States.
