In stock
This 2-inch kambaba jasper angel is meticulously hand-carved in Madagascar from natural orbicular jasper displaying swirling green and black fossilized textures. Each angel is polished to a satin sheen that enhances the concentric “eye” patterns unique to this prehistoric stone. The fine detailing in the wings and gentle curvature of the form highlight the harmony between ancient geology and artisan skill.
Kambaba Jasper, sometimes called Crocodile Jasper, is an ancient stromatolite rock composed of fossilized blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) preserved in fine-grained quartz and feldspar. These stromatolites—some of the Earth’s earliest life forms—developed in shallow Precambrian seas more than 3 billion years ago. Over time, silica-rich waters replaced organic matter, creating the swirling orbicular structure seen today.
Mined primarily in Madagascar, kambaba jasper is prized for its deep forest-green color mottled with black orbs, representing the intersection of life, water, and time in mineral form.

Kambaba Jasper carries one of the most ancient geological histories known, predating nearly all plant and animal life. The swirling fossil patterns record the oxygen-forming bacteria that transformed Earth’s atmosphere billions of years ago.
Modern artisans in Madagascar carve this ancient material into angelic forms to celebrate life’s endurance and transformation—a fitting tribute to both geological time and human craftsmanship. The angel figure represents the continuity between creation, protection, and rebirth across eons.
The angel embodies guidance, resilience, and renewal, while kambaba jasper’s ancient origins express stability and natural wisdom. Together, they represent the eternal balance between change and endurance:
The green hues evoke growth and grounded calm.
The orbicular fossils symbolize life’s continuity through transformation.
The angelic form reflects timeless protection and ancestral presence.
Collectors often view kambaba jasper angels as emblems of harmony with the Earth’s deep history—stones that connect modern artistry to ancient origin.
Each carving is truly unique. Expect intricate green swirls, dark orbs, and fine banding that reveal fossilized algae colonies. The 2-inch size provides ample surface to appreciate these natural patterns, polished to a gentle luster that complements the stone’s organic rhythm. Its color palette—moss green, black, and subtle gray—pairs beautifully with neutral or natural décor.
Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or prolonged water exposure. Though durable, store separately from harder crystals to preserve its polish and edges.
