This is a 4 lb 15.6 oz, magnificent shades of gray, black and white sphere, 4.4” in This is a 4 lb 15.6 oz, magnificent shades of gray, black and white sphere, 4.4” in diameter and from China. This is a beautiful sphere, silky smooth and cool to the touch, warming quickly. Now, it is called a jasper and thruly, this sphere is not … it is actually a conglomerate of marble, chert, calcite and limestone, but dominated by calcite. Bivalve (clams and the like) shells were included in this sedimentary mixture and create a wonderful landscape of shapes, ancient writing-like markings and symbols. As a note, the arched and faint white lines are reflections off the tripod holding the camera. This one has pods, an eye, flying saucers, a strange animal, flowers and many more … what a wonderful way to imagine!
