9.6" Polished Kambaba Jasper Tower - Madagascar

Polished Kambaba Jasper Tower - Madagascar #209976

This is a beautiful hand-polished tower made from kambaba jasper found in Madagascar. It is 9.6" tall and has dark circular mineral formations throughout the jasper. The base of this specimen was cut flat so that it stands unassisted. There is a small (2-3mm) nick right at the peak of this tower.

Kambaba jasper and crocodile jasper are trade names for a greenish rhyolitic (volcanic) rock found in the west-central Bongolava region of Madagascar. It is full of blackish orbs consisting of small amphibole needles that some people say resemble amphibian eyes, hence the name "crocodile jasper". There is a common misconception that Kambaba Jasper is a stromatolite, but this is incorrect, since it is volcanic in origin. Despite the misconceptions, it is a beautiful decorative stone when polished.
