3.4" Polished Dragon's Blood Jasper Sphere - South Africa
This is an alluring polished sphere made out of Dragon's Blood Jasper from South Africa. The polish work on this sphere is second to none, with no dull spots or scuffing that is found in a lot of the material from this location. It measures 3.4" in diameter and comes with the pictured display stand.
There is a section of this sphere that has undergone some gap fill.

This fascinating stone is commonly referred to as "dragon's blood jasper" or "dragon's blood stone" and is a recent find in South Africa. The exact mineral composition is up for debate. One opinion is that the minerals are green epidote and piemontite, while it could also be bastite, a pseudomorph of a serpentine variety. Until chemical analysis of this rock has been performed and published, a definitive conclusion on the chemical composition of "dragon's blood jasper" is difficult to make.
