🪨 Material Overview, History, and Geology
Bamboo Jasper is a distinctive Indonesian jasper known for its fossil-like, stromatolite-inspired formations that appear as branching or rounded bamboo-like structures. The unique patterning comes from mineral replacement of ancient sedimentary layers, producing surreal, organic motifs unlike any other jasper.
Its earthy palette and flowing natural geometry make it a favorite among lapidary artists and collectors seeking visually complex materials. Most high-grade Bamboo Jasper is collected from specific regions in Indonesia and is becoming increasingly scarce on the open market.
