Polychrome Jasper Cabochon

Polychrome Jasper, also known as Desert Jasper, is a unique and vibrantly colored stone prized for its rich earthy tones and intricate patterns. The stone often features swirling hues of red, orange, brown, yellow, and green, which are reminiscent of desert landscapes, flame-like formations, and abstract natural art. Each cabochon is one-of-a-kind, with distinctive color banding and flow-like designs, making it ideal for collectors, jewelers, and metaphysical enthusiasts alike.

Origin:
Polychrome Jasper is primarily sourced from the deserts of Madagascar, where it was first discovered in the early 2000s. The jasper forms as a result of volcanic activity, where silica-rich solutions crystallize within rock cavities over millions of years. Madagascar’s unique geological environment contributes to the stone's extraordinary palette and intricate formations.

Age:
Polychrome Jasper is estimated to have formed during the late Precambrian to early Paleozoic era, making it approximately 500 to 600 million years old. Its ancient origin speaks to the incredible geological processes that shaped its beauty and structure.

Polychrome Jasper is not only appreciated for its visual appeal but also for its metaphysical properties, often associated with grounding, balance, and connection to Earth's energy.
