Polished Green and Cream Jasper Stone

This item is a small, hand-sized stone specimen featuring a complex matrix of minerals, primarily identified as a form of Jasper or green-speckled Fuchsite quartz. The physical characteristics of the stone include a varied color palette consisting of deep emerald greens, creamy beiges, and hints of ochre or rusty orange. The stone has been polished to a semi-glossy sheen, though it retains an irregular, organic shape with natural indentations and undulations rather than a uniform cabochon or sphere cut. Its construction is dense and crystalline, appearing to be a metamorphic or sedimentary rock. Notable features include a prominent swirling pattern on the left side that resembles a natural vortex or an ammonite-like spiral shape, though this appears to be a result of geological folding rather than a fossil. The condition of the specimen is generally good, with a smooth surface, although there are visible pits and micro-fissures characteristic of untreated natural stones. No maker's marks or signatures are present, as this is a natural geological object. The craftsmanship is limited to the lapidary work of tumbling or polishing, which has enhanced the internal contrast of the green inclusions against the cream-colored host rock. Its age is geological, potentially spanning millions of years, and it serves as an excellent decorative specimen for collectors of minerals and gemstones.
