Polychrome jasper polished on one face

Polychrome jasper is a variety of quartz distinguished by its multicolored patterns, often in shades of red, brown, yellow, and sometimes green. This siliceous mineral is renowned for its hardness and granular composition. The patterns are formed by mineral inclusions and geological processes, giving each stone a unique appearance. Jasper was already valued in antiquity for the creation of ornaments and seals. Typically originating from volcanic regions, this type of stone often finds its roots in areas such as Madagascar, India, and South America.

This stone, with one polished face, measures approximately 7 cm.
