Polychrome Jasper
Polychrome Jasper, also known as Desert Jasper, is a type of Jasper that was discovered in Madagascar in 2006, making it a relatively recent addition to the gemstone world. It is distinguished by its vibrant, multi-colored patterns that include a striking array of earth tones—reds, browns, tans, greens, and grays. These colors swirl and layer in patterns that can resemble desert landscapes, sunsets, or even abstract art, hence its name which signifies "many-colored" Jasper.
The formation of Polychrome Jasper is volcanic, originating from the sedimentary ash that solidified over time. Its discovery came about as deposits of Ocean Jasper, another type of orbicular Jasper also found in Madagascar, began to deplete, leading gemstone hunters to explore new areas.
