Apple Valley Jasper Slab – White Quartz Rivers – Oolitic Fossil Pattern
This distinctive Apple Valley Jasper slab features flowing rivers of white quartz through oolitic fossil patterns creating fascinating geological detail. While more subtle in coloration, this piece reveals remarkable texture and structure when examined closely. Devil's toenails fossils visible along the top edge add paleontological interest to this Sahara Desert stromatolite. This solid material should take a quality polish.

Apple Valley Jasper comes from the same Sahara Desert location as Apple Valley Agate but is actually a fossil stromatolite, making it a fascinating specimen for fossil collectors. Stromatolites formed from cyanobacteria colonies trapped in sediment layers and are among Earth's earliest known fossils, dating back billions of years.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
This piece showcases intricate oolitic texture with white quartz rivers flowing through ancient fossil formations. The presence of devil's toenails fossils adds a rare element not commonly found in stromatolite material, making this a unique paleontological specimen.
