Details: Bruneau jasper can be found in this location. This is from the Travel Channel Treasure Wiki Here is data from the defunct link: "General description: The most well known jasper from Idaho is the primarily red and brown cryto-crystaline quartz from Bruneau Canyon. The Bruneau jasper flow is the most silica-rich rhyolite flow in the area and is the source of silica that fills gas cavities in the upper zones of the rhyolite. The most prized Bruneau has egg shaped swirls in the jasper. How to get there: 50 road miles south of Bruneau in Owyhee County.

Directions: I am unsure of the directions, especially after trying to map out the directions on the Travel Channel website. They did have some GPS coordinates, so I hope these will help out.
