Details
Polychrome Jasper is mined in Madagascar.
It is also known as Desert Jasper.
This jasper is highly silicated making it very smooth and hard.
Easy to work with and taking a brilliant shine, Polychrome is easily one of my favorite materials to work with.
This slab would be suitable for cabbing, carving or as a base for a basket or statue.
It is VERY solid and has no inclusions or cracks.
The lines you see were formed when the slab crystalized and are not weak points.
Mohs - 6.5 to 7
Approximately 5 x 3.5 x .25 inches
Slab is completely opaque.
First two photos are taken wet to simulate what this material will look like polished.
