Bamboo Jasper Cutting Rough Flatrate Lapidary Stone

Bamboo Jasper – Rare Indonesian Jasper with Fossil-Like Patterns

Weight: 27.5 Lbs

Bamboo Jasper is a striking and unusual jasper from Indonesia, known for its natural resemblance to fossilized bamboo stalks. While it contains no actual fossil material, its intricate, plant-like banding patterns and earthy color tones make it a standout in the world of lapidary rough. This material is also sometimes called Bamboo Leaf Jasper.

Highly favored by cabbers and sphere makers alike, Bamboo Jasper is generally very solid and stable to work with. It does tend to take a matte finish when polished untreated, but with a little effort and the right touch, it can achieve a gorgeous luster that highlights its rare patterning.

Due to Indonesian export laws, most Bamboo Jasper is sold pre-cut, giving you a valuable glimpse into the stone's interior before you ever touch the saw. This makes for an ideal cutting experience with less guesswork and more pattern payoff.
