10" Polished Dragon's Blood Jasper Obelisk - South Africa

This is a 10" tall, polished obelisk made out of Dragon's Blood Jasper from South Africa.

This fascinating stone is commonly referred to as "dragon's blood jasper" or "dragon's blood stone" and is a recent find in South Africa. The exact mineral composition is up for debate. One opinion is that the minerals are green epidote and piemontite, while it could also be bastite, a pseudomorph of a serpentine variety. Until chemical analysis of this rock has been performed and published, a definitive conclusion on the chemical composition of "dragon's blood jasper" is difficult to make.
