🌀 Kambaba Jasper Rough – Large Madagascar Stromatolite with Creamy Green Orbs
This is a large, premium-quality rough piece of Kambaba Jasper from Madagascar, showcasing bold orbicular stromatolite patterns and areas of the highly sought-after creamy green tones that lapidarists prize for high-contrast cabochons. With its size, color variation, and visual movement, this looks to be a prime cutter for slabs or statement cabbing projects.
Kambaba Jasper, also known as Crocodile Jasper, is a fossilized green stromatolite formed from ancient colonies of cyanobacteria—making it not only visually stunning but also over 3 billion years old. The swirling, orb-like patterns reflect biological layering from these ancient microbial mats. Most Kambaba takes a soft matte polish, though higher gloss finishes are achievable depending on the individual piece.

Photo Disclaimer
I strive to provide accurate, unedited photos that represent each stone as naturally as possible. Most stones are photographed wet to simulate their polished appearance. While I do not use filters or enhancements, please be aware that screen brightness and settings may slightly alter the color you see. If a face has been cut, the final image is usually taken dry to help reveal natural surface characteristics like pits or fractures.
Natural Stone & Fossil Disclaimer
All of the stones and fossils offered here are natural materials formed over millions of years through geological and organic processes. As a result, it is completely normal for them to exhibit natural fractures, pits, inclusions, voids, and other surface or internal features that reflect their ancient origins.
These characteristics are not flaws—they are part of what makes each piece unique. We encourage you to review all product photos carefully and research the properties of each material before purchasing to ensure it meets your expectations.
