Description
Discover the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains with this striking Banded Red Jasper specimen, collected from the mineral-rich terrain of Pitkin County, Colorado.This piece showcases stunning, deep brick-red and earthy terracotta tones, beautifully structured in distinct, sedimentary-like bands. The coloration is driven by a rich concentration of natural iron oxides (hematite), giving the stone its bold, opaque presentation.Adding incredible character to the piece is a distinct, contrasting white quartz pocket (vug) featuring tiny, sparkling crystalline structures nestled into the side of the specimen. Splashes of mustard-yellow jasper weave through the lower half, creating a dynamic, multicolored pattern that looks beautiful from every angle.The specimen features sharp, angular fractures that highlight its fine-grained, smooth, and naturally semi-glossy texture. Mounted securely on a white base inside a premium, stackable display cube, it is completely ready to showcase in your mineral cabinet or office.
