Polished Polychrome Jasper Freeform A sculptural polychrome jasper freeform from Madagascar, with a soft palette of cream, dusty pink, pale grey-green and warm ochre. Broad curved bands frame an elongated central pattern, giving the front the appearance of an abstract landscape painted in stone. The reverse offers a different composition, with warm mauve and brown tones surrounded by lighter borders. Its rounded upright silhouette and glossy polish bring out these flowing colour transitions, making it an attractive focal point for a shelf, desk or display cabinet. Approximate dimensions: 17 × 10.5 × 5 cm. Weight: 1645 g. Jasper is an opaque, microcrystalline silica-rich material whose colours and patterns reflect mineral inclusions and variations in composition. Unlike a single large quartz crystal, its crystals are too small to distinguish with the naked eye; polishing reveals the colourful patterns as a continuous picture.
