Australian Zebra Rock Jasper Decorator 2.25 inch Egg Rock
Zebra rock is a strange patterned silt stone (siliceous argillite) unique to the Ranford formation in the Kununurra district in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia.
The deposit is 600 million years old, placing it in the Upper Proterozoic era or Pre-Cambrian period. It has a very fine texture, like that of unglazed porcelain. The dark spots have the same texture as the light areas, and are colored by Hematite (iron oxide). The formation of the spots is mysterious, but is clearly the result of a three-dimensional reaction-diffusion type instability.
This hand carved egg is not quite 2.25 inches or 55 mm in height. #4
