📝 Material Overview, History, and Geology
Bamboo Jasper is a striking variety of jasper found in Indonesia, recognized for its distinctive banded, bamboo-like appearance. The stone’s linear and layered structure often resembles stalks of bamboo, making it a unique and easily identifiable lapidary material.
Formed through silica-rich deposits, Bamboo Jasper typically exhibits earthy colors like cream, tan, brown, and green, often highlighted by bold banding. It is relatively durable and capable of producing slabs and cabochons with dramatic natural striping.
While more abundant than some collectible jaspers, Bamboo Jasper remains popular among lapidary artists and collectors for its characteristic patterns, workability, and strong visual impact.

Natural Stone: These are rough stones, 100% natural. Expect natural fractures, inclusions, or pits formed during creation - these are part of its geological character, not flaws.
