Fryite:
Is a little known very rare picture Jasper. Foud 6 miles west of Lewiston,
Idaho. Along the snake river in Garfield County, Wa. The deposit has
been doug out years ago and is now on posted, private
property.
Fryite gets it's name from (Abe Fry) a man who was Lewiston Idaho's
local sheriff for many years. Like allot of the other picture Jaspers.
Fryite is a silicated mud. Unfortunatly Fryite wasn't solidified in
very large sizes, like allot of the other picture jaspers. It came in
small nodules. The above slab is an unusually large specimen. over 6"
long.
As you can see this picture jasper has blue coloring
which of corse is rare in Chalcedony. We have also found it to contain
purple, pinks. As well as the black, browns, and tans. Allot
of this material seems to have been broken and resolidified. Which produces
quite unusual patterns. It is quite evident in this slab.
