Collected from the same Sahara Desert locality as Apple Valley Agate, this jasper is actually a fossilized cyanobacterial colony — one of Earth’s earliest known life forms. The color, linework, and layering all reflect a prehistoric ecosystem frozen in stone.

Natural Stone 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. If you have any questions about a specific piece, feel free to contact us before ordering.

Photo Disclaimer:
I strive to provide accurate, unedited photos that represent each stone as naturally as possible. While I do not use filters or enhancements, please note that colors may appear slightly different depending on your screen’s brightness, contrast, and settings. All photos are taken with my monitor set to default display settings for the most neutral representation.
Slabs are typically photographed wet to simulate the appearance they will have when polished. This helps showcase the true color, pattern, and potential of the material. The final photo in each listing is usually taken dry to help you examine the natural surface for fractures, pits, or other imperfections. Please review all photos carefully before purchasing.
