kambaba jasper pendant

Kambaba jasper and crocodile jasper are trade names for a unique, greenish rhyolitic (volcanic) stone found in the west-central Bongolava region of Madagascar. It is full of wisps and irregularly shaped, blackish orbs that some people say resemble amphibian eyes, hence the name "crocodile jasper".

This Kambaba jasper pendant was hand cut and shaped, then tumble polished. It is slightly domed on both sides with a 2.5mm hole drilled front to back and strung on a cord with sliding knots so it can be adjusted from 15" to 28" in length.
