Product Description:

The Picture Jasper Palm from Madagascar is a unique and fascinating natural mineral formation composed of jasper, a type of chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline form of silica. This palm-shaped formation features intricate, swirling patterns that resemble a natural landscape, with shades of brown, beige, and gray.

Geological Information

Jasper is a type of chalcedony that forms through the process of sedimentation, where silica-rich sediments are compressed and cemented together. The intricate patterns found in picture jasper are due to the presence of various impurities, such as iron oxide, titanium dioxide, and chromium.

Formation Process

The formation of jasper like that found in the Picture Jasper Palm from Madagascar involves a process known as diagenesis. This process occurs when silica-rich sediments are compressed and cemented together, forming a hard, compact rock. Over time, the jasper can be shaped by erosion and weathering, creating unique formations like the palm shape.
