Natural Rock-Egg: Georgous Bamboo Agate 34x45mm
Each of these bamboo leaf jasper eggs is an incredible creation by Mother Earth. An abstract patchwork of gorgeous color.
Taken from Amazon.CA:
- Jasper means “spotted or speckled stone”. Jasper is mostly silica (so its a ‘chalcedony’ or type of quartz) with a fine sedimentary consistency like clay, that is mostly opaque and comes in many colours (depending on the minerals present in the sediment or ash that is contained within the silica as it forms)
- Bamboo stone (or bamboo jasper) is a conglomerate of sandstone structures in a silica matrix
- Jasper is an opaque rock of virtually any color stemming from the mineral content of the original sediments or ash. Patterns arise during the consolidation process forming flow and depositional patterns in the original silica rich sediment or volcanic ash. Hydrothermal circulation is generally thought to be required in the formation of jasper
- Because of the random structure of bamboo jasper, no two spheres will ever look exactly the same. By the same token, every sphere has its own distinct patterns – sometimes forming patterns that can be imaginatively turned into faces, or animals, for example
