Yellow Jasper Mineral Specimen India Genuine Natural Stone with Certificate of Authenticity

Genuine Yellow Jasper Mineral from India

Offered here is an authentic Yellow Jasper mineral specimen from India, carefully selected for its colour, texture, and overall visual appeal. This is a genuine natural stone, chosen individually rather than in bulk, and the photographs show the exact specimen you will receive. Full sizing details are clearly visible in the images provided, allowing accurate assessment of scale and proportions.

This specimen includes a lifetime Certificate of Authenticity, supplied as a generic card, guaranteeing that the mineral is genuine and correctly identified.

Mineral Classification and Composition

Yellow Jasper is a variety of microcrystalline quartz belonging to the chalcedony group. It is composed primarily of silicon dioxide, with its characteristic yellow colour produced by the presence of iron-rich mineral impurities. Jasper is classified as an opaque form of chalcedony and is known for its dense structure, durability, and natural patterns.

Unlike crystalline quartz, jasper forms as compact masses rather than individual crystal points. This gives it a smooth, solid appearance and makes it highly resistant to weathering, contributing to its long geological lifespan.

Geological Formation and Origin

Jasper forms through the slow deposition of silica-rich fluids within sedimentary or volcanic environments. Over time, microscopic quartz crystals precipitate and compact, creating a dense, finely textured stone. Variations in mineral content, particularly iron oxides, influence the final colour and pattern.

India is a significant source of jasper due to its diverse geological history, which includes ancient volcanic activity, sedimentary basins, and long-term mineralisation processes. Yellow jasper from this region is valued for its warm tones and consistent colouration.

Texture, Colour, and Natural Features

This Yellow Jasper specimen displays natural golden to mustard-yellow hues, with subtle tonal variations that reflect its geological formation. Surface textures may include smooth areas, natural fractures, or gentle undulations, all formed through natural processes rather than artificial shaping.

The stone has not been dyed, stabilised, or artificially enhanced. Any patterns, colour variations, or surface markings are entirely natural and make each specimen unique. The density and fine grain typical of jasper give the piece a pleasing weight and solid feel when handled.

Collecting and Educational Significance

Jasper has been used and valued for thousands of years, both as a decorative stone and as a material for tools and carvings. From a geological perspective, it is an excellent example of microcrystalline quartz formation and silica deposition processes.

This specimen is suitable for mineral collections, educational use, or study of chalcedony varieties. It is often used in teaching collections to demonstrate differences between crystalline and microcrystalline quartz, as well as the role of trace elements in mineral colouration.

Display and Presentation Value

Yellow Jasper’s warm colour and natural patterns make it an attractive display mineral. It fits well in mineral cabinets, display shelves, or as part of a broader collection of quartz varieties. Its natural form allows it to be appreciated from multiple angles, highlighting both colour and texture.

The specimen has been carefully chosen to ensure aesthetic balance and authenticity. The fact that the photographs show the exact piece you will receive provides full transparency and confidence in your purchase.

Supplied with a lifetime Certificate of Authenticity, this Yellow Jasper mineral specimen from India is a genuine and enduring example of natural silica mineralisation. It offers geological interest, visual appeal, and lasting value for collectors, educators, and enthusiasts alike.
