Description
A fascinating Kambaba Jasper sphere with deep green hues and distinctive dark ‘eye’ structures - this 896-gram Wunderkammer mineral is a stunning example of this particular fossil rock type from Madagascar.
The sphere displays beautifully layered green patterns, interspersed with dark, round circles characteristic of this rare type of volcanic rock from Madagascar. The glossiness and structure alternate pleasingly, giving the sphere a lively, almost mystical character. The condition is excellent with only natural mineral structures.
