PRODUCT INFORMATION
General Description
Polychrome Jasper is a beautiful stone with a complex colour mix of greys, oranges, and sandy colours. Often called Desert or Picasso Jasper due to the stunning patterns and complex colours. It is believe to have been originally found as early as 2006 close to the Ocean Jasper deposits of Madagascar. The material is graded according to the complexity of patterns and colours. We only select from the top 20% of Polychrome material which is worked. Polychrome happens to be Nick May's favourite polished material.Carnelian is an orange-coloured variety of Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family. Its colour varies from pale pinkish-orange to a deep rusty brown, though it is most known for its brilliant orange and red-orange colour. It owes its red to reddish brown colour to colloidally dispersed hematite (iron oxide) The material occurs with banded patterns and white to peach coloured intrusive Quartz-like areas. Madagascar produces some of the best Carnelian in the world. Beautifully polished with some pieces having complex crystalline vug like features. Fissures and vug like features are often left in the material as not to waste during polishing. Colour intensity, and contrasting patterns are some of the main criteria used to grade the material. Over the past few years good quality Carnelian has become hard to find in Madagascar.
Price is grade dependent. Items are as shown.
