2.4" Polished Dragon's Blood Jasper Sphere - South Africa

This is an polished sphere made out of Dragon's Blood Jasper from South Africa. It measures 2.4" in diameter and comes with the pictured display stand.

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.
