Crystal Bear Carvings

Jasper's colours stem from the mineral content of the original sediments or ash. Patterns arise during the consolidation process forming flow and depositional patterns in the original silica rich sediment or volcanic ash.

Aventurine is a variety of translucent quartz or quartzite with abundant small plate- or flake-shaped inclusions. Light entering the quartz strikes these inclusions and reflects from them. This produces a sparkly appearance known as "aventurescence."

Dalmatian Stone, also referred to as Dalmatian Jasper, is a white feldspar-Quartz mineral with black dotted inclusions. These dots are Arfvedsonite. Often thought to be a Jasper, this stone is actually an igneous rock.
