12.2" Tall, Colorful Free-Standing, Polished Jasper/Agate (31 lbs.)
This is a colorful, 12.2" tall, polished piece of jasper from the Ambolobozo Peninsula of Madagascar that weighs a whopping 31 pounds. The jasper bears a wide variety of colors including hues of red, orange, tan and white. The base of the stone has been cut flat so that it stands up on a flat surface. There are a few pockets where quartz crystals can be observed. It is quite interesting and makes for a unique piece.
About Polychrome Jasper
Polychrome jasper (also known as desert jasper) is known as one of the rarest forms of jasper: it is only mined from a single location in Madagascar! The jasper deposits are typically in ribbon-like formations, and are almost always multicolored. The colors presented by this mineral are commonly earthy purples, tans, reds, and pinks, but teal polychrome jasper is one of the more sought after and desired colors. Some people consider it a form of picture jasper.
