Jasper with dendrite inclusions
PUMI2250-2
This explosion of colors ilooks like of a rock fresco made by Homo Sapiens with ochres and natural pigments in a cave. But these colors are absolutely natural and were discovered in the center of the United States, in Utah. The beauty of this stone comes from the manganese inclusions that followed micro-cracks: Dendrite. These patterns that have the appearance of vegetative growth are therefore a unique crystallization of Manganese. This Jasper formed by hydrothermal circulation of silica-rich sediments among the flows of a volcano. The size of this 13.2Kg block is exceptional.
