Maligano Jasper
Maligano brecciated jasper is a unique and visually striking variety of jasper that originates from the remote village of Maligano in Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is renowned for its bold, fragmented patterns that resemble a mosaic, where cracks and veins of earthy red, orange, gray, and blue tones are filled with contrasting colors and sometimes pockets of druzy quartz. This brecciated pattern occurs naturally through geological processes where fractured jasper is re-cemented by silica-rich waters, creating a complex tapestry of colors and textures. With its vibrant hues and dramatic patterns, Maligano jasper has become a favorite among collectors and jewelry makers seeking a distinctive and natural work of art in stone form.
