Polished Red Jasper Sphere
Madagascar
5.26 inches (13.37 cm) in diameter

This polished sphere is composed of fine-grained Red Jasper, exhibiting a consistent deep red coloration with natural inclusions of ochre and brown. The uniform polish enhances the stone's opacity and subtle patterning, characteristic of microcrystalline Quartz varieties. Jasper has long been valued for its durability and dense composition, making it a favored material for both decorative and functional objects. With its even finish and solid form, this example represents a refined specimen of Red Jasper suitable for display or gifting during the holiday season.
