đź“ť Material Overview, History, and Geology
Kambaba Jasper is an ancient, fossil-based jasper from Madagascar, composed primarily of stromatolites—layered colonies of fossilized algae dating back billions of years. These unique orbicular patterns resemble green and black “eyes” or swirling orbs, making it instantly recognizable and highly collectible.
Often mistaken for Nebula Stone, Kambaba Jasper is distinct in its fossilized stromatolite origins. Its deep green to black background with lighter orbicular structures offers both aesthetic appeal and scientific significance, as it preserves some of the earliest records of life on Earth.
This material remains a favorite among lapidary artists and collectors for its combination of striking appearance, historic value, and the bold orbicular cabochons it can produce.
đź“Ź Additional Notes
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.
Photos: All photos are taken wet to show potential color and pattern once polished. This material is not polished.
