Polychrome Jasper Decorator Rock Stone Sphere

This colorful semiprecious gemstone Polychrome Jasper sphere is 2.6 inches or 66 mm in diameter.

This lovely material is called Polychrome Jasper for its many colors and it is coming from Madagascar.

Jasper is a form of semiprecious chalcedony, or microcrystalline quartz.

The Greek origin of the word jasper, iaspis, means "spotted stone."

Jasper's colors and patterns are caused by impurities present during formation and are much less regular and defined than those of the other chalcedony variety, agate.
