Kambaba Jasper is a sedimentary stone composed primarily of fossilized algae, giving it distinctive green and black swirling patterns. Its unique appearance and relative durability make it a popular choice for statement jewelry and beadwork. As an authority in gemstone sourcing, Dakota Stones notes that Kambaba Jasper's earthy tones pair well with both metals and organic materials. Its opaque finish and natural patterning provide visual interest, while its moderate hardness allows for versatile use in necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.
