Meet one of the most visually captivating stones in the natural world. This hand-polished Coquina Jasper sphere measures 5.86" across and weighs an impressive 10.52 lbs — a substantial, commanding presence that belongs front and center in any collection or living space.
Coquina Jasper, also known as Mariam Stone, Script Stone, Calligraphy Jasper, or Cobra Stone, is sourced from the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains in India, where ancient shorelines once stretched across what is now some of the most dramatic terrain on earth. It's a sedimentary rock composed of fossilized shell fragments — cockleshells, shellfish, and coral — cemented together with calcite in a fine-grained matrix. The result is a surface covered in high-contrast, script-like patterns in rich shades of brown, cream, red, and orange, as if nature itself took a pen to stone.
