Bumblebee Jasper Home Decor
This Bumblebee Jasper specimen is polished on all sides. It has unique gray banding and different hues of yellow, white, and a lighter gray on the front.
Bumblebee Jasper (which is actually not a true Jasper) is a complex calcium carbonate mineral with inclusions of arsenic and manganese oxides. The banding and layering, which resembles a common bumblebee (hence the name), is caused by inclusions of sulfur (yellow), calcium & Aragonite (white), orpiment and realgar (orange), and Pyrite (black). This mineral was discovered only in the 1990s at Papandayan Volcano in West Java Province, Indonesia. Since then, this mineral has yet to be discovered anywhere else on Earth, and geologists don’t expect to find another deposit anytime soon.
