AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large ornamental sphere in Madagascar Polychrome Jasper.
Ornamental sphere made from a single block of natural multicolored jasper from Madagascar, a mineral belonging to the family of microcrystalline quartz. The surface reveals a mineral landscape with hues ranging from deep blue-gray to aquamarine green, from cream to iron red, crossed by translucent quartz veins and geode cavities rich in crystallizations. Jasper forms through sedimentary and hydrothermal processes, where silica replaces ancient sediments and volcanic material, resulting in a compact, layered rock with extraordinary color variations.
This sphere has been handcrafted to highlight the complexity of its internal structure and the depth of its colors, while preserving the natural cavities and original inclusions. Ideal as a decorative accessory or meditation object, capable of capturing light and transforming any environment.
