This striking African Emerald Jasper skull is full of deep forest greens, inky shadows, and scattered golden flecks that catch the light as you move it. Carved from solid jasper, it has a lovely weight in the hand and a bold, earthy presence that makes it an instant shelf-grabber.
African Emerald Jasper is a trade name for a richly patterned green jasper found in Africa. It is a beautiful natural variation, with swirling tones and mineral inclusions that give each piece its own character.
How it’s formed
African Emerald Jasper forms when silica-rich sediments slowly settle and solidify over millions of years. As the stone develops, natural mineral inclusions become trapped within the jasper, creating the mottled patterns, depth of colour, and subtle golden flecking seen throughout the piece.
African Emerald Jasper is often associated with grounding, stability, and steady growth. It’s thought to encourage resilience, balance, and a deeper connection to nature — a supportive stone for staying rooted while navigating change.
