Kuruman Hills Sunset Jasper

Kuruman is located in the northeastern corner of the province and is distantly southwest of Johannesburg in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa.. Originally a missionary station (1821), it later became an area of white settlement (town founded, 1885; incorporated, 1916).  The town is chiefly known for a local spring—the Eye of Kuruman—which rises in a cave in this otherwise semidesert thornveld area and supplies at least 4,500,000 gallons daily. This is a multi-colored layered jasper containing hematite and it's very hard, solid rough that has healed fractures. -WET pic.-(14.8 oz.) end cut no fractures seen
