Ocean Jasper (colorful and gemmy - rare)

Item Description

Orbicular Jasper is the name given to Jasper multi-color, banded "orbs" in its interior. Ocean Jasper is a kind of Orbicular Jasper that is found in small pools in northeastern Madagascar. The material forms in radial aggregates where small "seed" crystals of Quartz or Feldspar create the rounded shapes seen when these stones are cut and polished. This "Triangle Cabochon" cut stone has a beautiful combination of reddish brown patches with dark blue, green and pastel "rings". Certainly one of the most colorful Ocean Jaspers that we have offered, but the most important aspect is the fact that it actually passes light when backlit! It is exceptionally rare to find GEMMY Ocean Jasper like this! Be sure to pick this one up. A great Ocean Jasper for any collector.
