14.2" Free-Standing, Polished Mushroom Jasper - Arizona
This is a unique, 14.2" wide, polished section of Mushroom Jasper from Australia. One side is polished to a mirror like finish while the other side is rough. The base of the stone has been cut flat so that it stands up nicely on a flat surface. The piece is quite heavy weighing just over 20 lbs.
Mushroom Jasper, also known as "Mushroom Rhyolite", is the name for an orbicular rhyolite found in several areas northwest of Phoenix, Arizona. Often, formations of quartz and agate can be found throughout these specimens. In some instances these quartz pockets will contain purple amethyst crystals. This rhyolite earns its name after the earthy brown- to green-colored orbicular formations that, in many cases, have the appearance of a mushroom cap.
