Natural Ocean Jasper Heart 11.6g 24mm

A 24mm heart with a pleasing mix of forest green, olive, and warm tan arranged in irregular patches across the face. The orbicules are large and well spaced, their cream and white tones showing cleanly against the varied background, and several display perfectly concentric multi-ring structures. The green zones at the top and left are slightly deeper in tone, while the centre-right shifts to a warmer olive and tan, creating a natural colour gradient across the face. One particularly large, complex orb sits near the centre and anchors the composition. High-gloss polish with no visible scratches.

At 24mm this heart sits in the upper-middle range of the lot for diameter, and the large, well-developed orbs on a green and olive ground represent a very characteristic ocean jasper appearance. Madagascar origin, untreated. The combination of size, clear orbicular development, and clean finish makes this piece well suited to a statement pendant or a focused collector's piece.
