Description from the seller
Madagascar Red Jasper – Free Form Polished
This fascinating red jasper comes from Madagascar, a land known for the extraordinary variety and quality of its ornamental stones. The polished surface highlights a vortex of warm tones, ranging from intense red to ochre, with brown veins and natural streaks that tell of millions of years of geological history.
Jasper is a microcrystalline variety of quartz, belonging to the chalcedony family. It forms through a slow sedimentary or volcanic process, during which silica-rich solutions deposit and solidify, often enriched with iron oxides, responsible for its characteristic red coloration. The compact structure and lack of fractures make this mineral perfect for polishing, which enhances its natural shine and hues.
Geologically, Madagascar's jasper originates from ancient sedimentary formations dating back to the Precambrian, one of the most remote eras in Earth's history. Its stratified appearance reflects millennial geochemical cycles, and each color variation testifies to a different deposition phase.
Always considered a protective and grounding stone, red jasper is linked to the earth's energy and the first chakra. It is appreciated for its ability to stimulate inner strength, stability, and determination.
