Note:
A natural “painting” formed by volcanic activity. Known for its distinctive orb-like patterns, orbicular jasper is formed when silica-rich solutions created through volcanism, percolate through the rock, depositing minerals in the process. The specific conditions and minerals present in the geological environment contribute to the individual appearance, meaning that each specimen is unique.
