Origin & History

Where Bamboo Leaf Jasper comes from and how people have worked with it over time.

Like other jaspers, bamboo leaf jasper is a microcrystalline variety of quartz that forms when silica-rich fluids cement fine sediments or volcanic ash into solid stone. Iron oxides, clays and other inclusions create its warm, earthy base colours and brushstroke-like patterns. While the trade name "bamboo leaf jasper" is relatively modern and used in the jewelry and crystal market, patterned jaspers have been carved and worn for thousands of years across many cultures as durable, comforting stones that evoke landscapes and natural textures.
