Red rock with a finer pattern
Warm rust-red and brick shades give this raw Jasper a lively, earthy colour. Fine pale speckles and short lighter lines add detail across its uneven faces, while darker edges emphasise the angular outline. Its mostly matte surface lets the colour take the lead, with texture rather than shine providing the contrast.
Look closely and the red becomes less uniform than it first appears. A lighter mark, a small ridge or a darker edge can change the balance of the face. That is the pleasure of this piece: strong colour with a fine pattern within it, and a rugged shape that leaves room for both.
