Sweeping bands of burgundy, earthy red, cream, golden mustard and deep green curve through the streamlined body, creating a sense of movement from the shark's nose through to its tail.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOcean Jasper is a patterned variety of Chalcedony from Madagascar, recognised for the extraordinary variation found within the material. While it is particularly well known for orbicular formations, Ocean Jasper can also display layered colours, flowing bands and intricate natural patterns. In this carving, the positioning of those bands works beautifully with the shark's sculpted form, creating a completely individual piece for Ocean Jasper collectors and shark lovers alike.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e⚖️ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eWeight: 392gms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e📏 Size: 6cm x 17cm x 4.7cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🌍 Source: Madagascar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🔮\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOcean Jasper: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Rhythm of the Tides\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e💛\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e💚\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🩵\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSolar Plexus, Heart, \u0026amp; Throat chakras\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnother of our first-pick shark carvings from China, and this Ocean Jasper beauty could hardly look more different from the last.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNiome and I had the opportunity to choose from the collection before anyone else, so we took our time selecting the sharks where the natural stone worked particularly well with the carving.
