Description from the seller
Obelisk in Kambaba jasper from Madagascar, worked and polished into a six-faced tower with a terminal tip. The piece measures 240 mm in height and presents a beautiful vertical, sleek and decorative structure.
Kambaba jasper is recognizable for its distinctive natural pattern, with a dark green background, sage green and grey-green, crossed by black areas, orbs, circular spots and irregular motifs that recall ancient petrified organic structures. In this obelisk the contrast between the dark zones and the green areas creates a very scenographic effect, different on each side of the tower.
The polishing highlights the inclusions, orbing, and the natural designs of the stone. Some faces show a lighter coloration, with aqua green and grey-green tones, while others present deeper and darker areas, almost black, which enhance the character of the specimen.
The obelisk shape makes the piece suitable for display as a decorative object, worked mineral sample, or collectible item. It can be placed in a display case, in a Wunderkammer, in a study, or in a decoratively arranged space with natural stones and selected objects.
Madagascar Kambaba jasper is appreciated both for its ornamental appearance and for the peculiarity of its patterns, which make every piece unique. This obelisk has a strong visual presence thanks to its notable height, regular shape, and rich surface.
