In 2011, I traveled to Tucson, Arizona, for the first time, an adventure that led to some extraordinary discoveries. Among them were the magnificent Oregon jaspers I discovered at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show®.
Fascinated by these stones, I decided, along with my wife and son, to follow their trail to Oregon. This trip allowed us to immerse ourselves in the region’s spectacular landscapes and experience a lifestyle typical of the American West. Here are a few photos that capture the essence of this unforgettable journey.
