Stone Canyon Jasper is without question the top California Jasper. It's coloration and breciation is great. It is found on the San Andreas Fault near Paso Robles. I held the last 2 field trips into this site and many 1,000's of pounds were collected happily by the rockhounds on those trips. Stone Canyon's one weakness is also how it was formed, cracks. You must look very carefully at any slab before cutting to watch for hidden unhealed fractures. Once this is done the material is a dream to cut.
