DSC_1404_"Autumn leaves" brecciated jasper natural preforms
The "autumn leaves" moniker was given by our departed friend, Lakerdog. In his hinor, I will continue to use that name for brecciated jasper with this coloration.
It is darker than what is usually found in Parkfield, CA, reminiscent of what I've seen from along the Central Coast (likely washed down from the Coast Range), in places like Cayucos, or some places in Santa Barbara and Monterey Counties.
I noticed two fractures in the slab that did not appear to be completely healed, so I placed the slab in a vise, and pulled on the ungripped portion, and both fractures gave way. Viola, natural pre-forms.
