JASPIS EPIDOTE (dragon stone) tumbled

Product detailed description

Dragonstone is a type of epidote with red piemontite. The piemontite itself is a member of the Epidote family and can be found in prismatic and needle-like crystal formations. This combined stone is common when found formed in metamorphosed rocks such as marble or granite. A rarer occurrence, like Dragonstone, is when they are formed by hydrothermal alteration, which converts sedimentary and metamorphosed rocks into igneous rocks. These formations have only been found in copper mines in South Africa and usually surround natural hot springs, hence the theory of their formation. Like all forms of jasper, this stone is a form of cryptocrystalline quartz. Trace minerals and impurities give it its iconic swirls and texture. Predominantly mined in South Africa, its colourful appearance has inspired many legends throughout history. The stone contains splashes of bright green epidote, tufts of fiery red and veins of high contrast white. In its natural rough form, the surface of the stone is grainy and organic. But after it is polished, the glassy sheen causes the beautiful coloration to stand out.
