Bold, earthy, and full of natural character — this Longken Jasper Elephant measures 7.87" long and 5.64" tall at 6.7 lbs, a substantial hand-carved piece with real presence on any shelf, desk, or display.
Longken Jasper is a form of brecciated jasper originating from the Yunnan province of China, prized for its dramatic natural patterning and rich, varied coloration. Like all brecciated jaspers, its distinctive look comes from natural fractures in the stone that were cemented back together over time, creating bold, one-of-a-kind patterns across every surface. This piece showcases a deep red body woven through with shifting tones of grey, black, beige, white, and golden yellow — each color a natural layer of the stone's unique formation.
Hand-carved and polished to bring out the full depth of the jasper's color and pattern, this elephant is as much a work of natural art as it is a collector's piece. A striking gift for the nature lover, the collector, or anyone who appreciates the extraordinary beauty hidden inside the earth.
