PRODUCT INFORMATION

General Description

Polychrome Jasper is a beautiful stone with a complex colour mix of greys, oranges, and sandy colours. Often called desert or Picasso Jasper due to the stunning patterns and complex colours. It is believe to have been originally found as early as 2006 close to the ocean jasper deposits of Madagascar. The material is graded according to the complexity of patterns and colours. We only selected from the top 20% of polychrome material which is worked. Polychrome happens to be Nick May's favourite polished material.

Rose Quartz is generally found in two regions of Madagascar, Ambatondrazaka & Antsirabe! The latter being considered the best deposits in the country! The regional material always has lovely colour intensity and gemmy clarity but this is variable depending on the grade. However, we only select the top 20% of all material which ranges from a lighter pink with a girasol-like glow to much darker shades of pink. On occasion pieces may have differential colour intensity across a single piece or between pieces. Madagascar is renowned for the gemmy clarity of their Rose Quartz but tends to have lighter tones of pink. Star-Rose Quartz is the main material from the region which produces an asterism on a sphere. The same material is often used for points and other polished items such as bowls, standing free forms and Gallets. However, the asterism is not produced due to the missing geometry. Madagascar is a great source of top quality Rose Quartz material. Absolutely stunning and always a sought after product line in any retail or commercial space.

Price is grade dependent. Items are as shown.
