Picasso Jasper Tumbled 2.5cm - 3cm

Naturally tumbled Picasso Jasper in a 2.5–3cm size, displaying a cream to warm grey base with dramatic black dendritic and linear markings that resemble abstract brushstroke artwork. Each piece varies in the distribution and intensity of the black patterning, making every stone visually unique. A popular choice for crystal collections, display bowls, and art-inspired decorative styling.

Picasso Jasper is a metamorphic limestone or marble, formed through the recrystallisation of calcium carbonate under heat and pressure. The distinctive black markings are caused by manganese oxide dendrites and iron-rich mineral inclusions that formed along natural fracture lines during the stone's geological history. Despite the name, it is not a true jasper (which is a form of chalcedony) but is commonly marketed under this name due to its striking, painterly appearance. It is found primarily in Utah, USA.
