The smooth surface brings out the natural depth of color. Grounding, solid, and visually immediate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT WE KNOW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRed 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE STORY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRed 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY WE CHOSE IT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THIS PIECE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eType: Red jasper diamond cabochon (polished)\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 89g\u003cbr\u003eLocality: Not independently verified\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Polished lapidary specimen — please review photographs for color, polish, and natural variation.\u003cbr\u003eQuantity: 1 — one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Found in the Field","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080782823609,"sku":"E580544","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/9438\/4825\/files\/IMG-0472.jpg?v=1782179945","url":"https:\/\/foundinthefield.store\/products\/earth-flame-cut-polished-diamond-red-jasper-cabochon","provider":"Found in the Field","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
