You can tell the difference between African Queen Picture Jasper and Biggs Jasper....they both have their unique qualities. As much as I admire the other picture Jasper I have up for auction, I love the colors in this Biggs Jasper and the ornate copper bezel sets it off beautifully. If there are 25 comments on this pendant I will add a necklace that compliments the pendant to the winner. Sorry, the Hummel does not come with the pendant.
HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'all. Hugs to everyone from RUDY AND SCARLET! And, of course, MamaKat, too!
