Jasper is a microcrystalline form of quartz (SiO₂) and can form in a variety of geologic settings.  Since there are so many ways that it can form, there are an equally wide variety of types of jasper that have been discovered all over the world. Bamboo jasper is composed of sandstone and mudstone fragments that have been compacted into this beautiful rock.  

Domed and polished on the front to a stunning finish, the back has been left unpolished and is slightly beveled to make it easier to set.

Care & Setting

Bamboo Jasper is a relatively soft stone (Mohs hardness = ~6.5-7) so will do well set in a piece that is protected from bumps and knocks like a pendant.
