Description from the seller
This sphere of Tiger Jasper Agate features an extraordinary visual appearance that resembles the stripes of a tiger.
The tones can vary from browns to golden yellows, often enriched by darker lines and bands that run across the stone in an intricate pattern.
These stripes are the result of alternating layers of jasper and agate, which capture and refract light in different ways, creating a vibrant and dynamic surface.
The Tiger Agatized Jasper is a fascinating and relatively rare variety of jasper that combines the characteristics of both jasper and agate, thanks to a process called agatization.
This natural process occurs when the original jasper is progressively replaced by silica, preserving the original structure but adding the translucent qualities and patterns of agate.
