SL209 Jasper Agate Mix Set

$16.00

This is a very nice Blood Jasper slab from India, a lovely Brazil Agate and a very nice Plume Agate! They measures 4 1/2 ″ x 3 5/8″ x 1/4″, 4 5/8 ″ x 3″ x nearly 1/4″, 4 1/4 ″ x 3″ x nearly 1/4″ and weighs nearly 3/4 lbs. They are durable enough to cut and polish for cabochons and other projects. Take note of the last photo showing slab wet to give an idea of how it could look polished.

Description

Jasper, or spotted stone, is an opaque, impure variety of Quartz that is usually red, yellow or brown in color.  Some Jaspers simultaneously exhibit several variants such as banding, flow patterns, dendrites or color variations.  This results in what appears to be scenes or images in a cut section of the Jasper.

Agates mostly occur as nodules in volcanic rocks or waters containing Silica in solution which is possibly derived from the decomposition of Silicates in the lava.  The Siliceous matter is deposited in regular layers resulting in the banded or striped formation.  It is very unlikely that you would ever find an exact duplicate of any type of Agate, Brazilian or other.
