Scenic Jasper Pendant

I've been collecting various scenic and picture jaspers for many years, 40 or more. They fascinate me. It's sometimes difficult for me to set them in jewelry because when I do and they sell I don't get to look at them any more. Pretty weird I guess for someone who makes their living making and selling jewelry. But there it is. This looked like a desert landscape to me so I used a diamond drill to bore a hole in it and riveted on the copper sun shape. At the top is a fresh water pearl. Metals are silver, copper and 14k gold. The jasper is owyhee picture jasper from Oregon which is a treasure land of diverse gemstones.
