Rectangular Picture Jasper - 2 in

A rectangular picture jasper from Africa, and picture jasper earns that name honestly, because the soft landscape banding across the face looks like horizon lines and washes of earth color, painted rather than formed. It is small and flat and easy to set down anywhere, on your windowsill, a desk, or beside the sink. Jasper is a stone of comfort and grounding. The pattern and color are unique to this piece. This cut specimen measures about 2 in wide.
