THE FIND
A polished red jasper diamond cabochon, 89g — rich tones of brick red, russet, and earthy crimson in a shaped and polished diamond form. The smooth surface brings out the natural depth of color. Grounding, solid, and visually immediate.

WHAT WE KNOW
Red jasper is an opaque variety of chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz) with red to brick-red coloration produced by iron oxide (hematite) distributed through the silica matrix. It is one of the most historically widespread ornamental stones — worked across cultures from ancient Egypt to Mesoamerica for seals, amulets, and decorative objects. This specimen has been cut and polished into a diamond (rhombus) cabochon form, weighing 89g. The polished surface enhances the color saturation and reveals the uniform fine-grained texture characteristic of jasper. Locality not independently verified.

THE STORY
Red jasper’s color is iron’s signature in stone — the same hematite that produces rust, red ochre, and the characteristic red of desert landscapes is distributed through the silica matrix, staining it brick-red to deep crimson. The uniformity of color in high-quality red jasper reflects even hematite distribution through the chalcedony, a product of consistent mineralizing conditions during formation. The diamond cabochon form is a lapidary choice that suits jasper’s opacity: with no translucence to reveal, the interest is in the color, the surface polish, and the geometry of the cut.

WHY WE CHOSE IT
The color depth on this piece is consistent and warm — genuine brick red without the brown cast of lower-grade material. At 89g the diamond form has real presence and weight. A strong display piece or desk object for anyone drawn to earth-tone minerals and lapidary work.
