AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Orbicular jasper is the rarest of jaspers, found only in certain areas of Madagascar, particularly in the Antsirabe region. It features a characteristic concentric spherical structure, composed of vivid colors such as red, orange, yellow, and green, surrounded by white lines.
Orbicular jasper was only discovered in 1998 and was immediately appreciated by mineral collectors for its extraordinary beauty and rarity. One of the most interesting features of orbicular jasper is the wide variety of orbicular formations, which make it unique and valuable.
Orbicular jasper is extracted from underground and open-pit mines, and the extraction process is very difficult and costly.
