Picasso Jasper Point

Description

Visual & Artistic Appeal
This smooth, polished Picasso Jasper Point reveals sweeping abstract patterns in black, grey, cream, and red—analogous to modernist brushstrokes. The layered, earthy palette and bold lines make it both a geological marvel and a striking art object.

Geological Origins & Creation Process
Though commonly labeled “jasper,” Picasso Jasper is actually metamorphosed limestone or siltstone, transformed by heat and pressure deep within Earth’s crust. During metamorphism, iron-rich compounds infiltrate the stone and arrange into dynamic, abstract tracings. These patterns are preserved through time, creating a stone that echoes abstract art in its appearance.

Primary Sources
Picasso Jasper is most famously mined in Utah, USA, though other global occurrences are occasionally cited—including Mexico and Australia—each offering unique pattern variations.
