This Ibis Jasper cabochon features a classic teardrop shape with a striking, high-contrast brecciated pattern characteristic of material from Madagascar. The top section displays warm, earthy layers of mustard yellow, rust red, and burnt orange that resemble a desert landscape or sunset. This warm section is abruptly fractured and healed by a large swath of translucent, smoky blue-grey chalcedony taking up the lower half. This cooler section contains fascinating depth, with suspended black mossy or dendritic inclusions and fragmented white patches. The surface shows a high-gloss polish that highlights the complex transitions between the opaque jasper and the translucent quartz.
