Crystal Type – Genuine Polychrome Jasper
Polychrome Jasper, also known as Desert Jasper, is a colourful and robust variety of chalcedony-rich microcrystalline quartz. Distinguished by its swirling bands, layered patterns, and rich earthy tones, this mineral is favoured for its beauty and durability. Polished by skilled craftspeople to a high satin sheen, the pebble highlights natural variations that formed deep within the Earth millions of years ago.
Key gemstone details:
- Mineral Species: Jasper (microcrystalline quartz)
- Group: Silicates
- Composition: SiO₂ (silicon dioxide)
- Crystal Habit: Microcrystalline, granular, massive
- Hardness: Approx. 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale
- Finish: A-grade polish with a smooth tactile surface
- Colouring: Distinctive multi-colour banding and natural patterning
Each polished piece reflects the unique mineral layering that makes Jasper one of the most visually expressive forms of quartz.
Geological Background – Formation & Origin
Polychrome Jasper originates from Madagascar, a region renowned for producing colourful and high-quality jasper varieties. The stone forms within ancient sedimentary deposits and volcanic terrains, where silica-rich solutions permeated and solidified over long geological periods. Iron oxides, clay minerals, and trace elements influence its bold range of colours, creating a palette that can include reds, creams, ochres, greens, and bluish-greys.
Formation Process:
Slow mineral deposition within cavities or fractures allows fine-grained quartz to develop alongside impurities that create the swirling, layered appearance. Over time, compression and natural metamorphic processes consolidate the mass into durable Jasper.
Colour Influences:
- Reds & Browns: Iron oxide inclusions
- Creams & Neutrals: Clay minerals
- Greens & Blues: Trace mineral variations
- Grey Tones: Silica-rich layers and organic content
These combinations give each Polychrome Jasper specimen its signature painterly appearance.

- Smooth A-grade polish, ideal for display or handling
- Rounded ergonomic shape, comfortable to hold or place in décor settings
- Layered natural patterns, unique to each formation environment
- Solid weight and presence, making it a standout collector’s piece
