Sonora Sunrise is a highly desirable tri-color jasper out of Mexico. It is made up of Chrysocolla, which is a beautiful blue/green, and Cuprite, which is the red/orange interspersed with black iron banding.  The contrast of these bold colors produces striking cabochons and is a mainstay for southwestern themed jewelry. Once plentiful, this material is increasingly difficult to obtain, especially slabs that display all three colors.
