This slab exhibits some fractures, potentially requiring treatment and stabilization for cabochon or polishing. Apple Valley Jasper, sourced from the same location as the renowned Apple Valley Agate in Morocco's Sahara Desert, is actually a fossil stromatolite. Stromatolites, formed by oceanic cyanobacteria trapped in sediment layers, are among the earliest known fossils and continue to form in certain global locations. Each layer of Apple Valley Jasper narrates a unique geological tale, with surrounding water and sediment mineral contents dictating its color and pattern. It often showcases vibrant reds and striking lines, and may feature captivating hematite flowers. Apple Valley Jasper polishes exceptionally well.
