This gemstone occurs as seams of jaspilite in a banded iron formation. It is 2500 million years old, so metamorphism and folding has added other interesting features such as cross cutting quartz veins and contortions to the unusual banding.###This slice is a wonderful example with the quartz veins- great specimen!
