5.1" Polished Poppy Jasper Bison - Mexico
This is a beautiful piece of poppy jasper from Mexico that has been polished into an abstract bison shape. This colorful guy measures 5.1 inches long and has been polished to a glossy finish to highlight the jasper's spherical formations.
The base has been cut flat so it stands up nicely on a hard surface.
