Ibis Jasper PalmStone with pink and yellow

Ibis Jasper is a name for a recently discovered Madagascan brecciated jasper. Breccia (Italian breccia “breach”) refers to stones broken apart and naturally cemented back together. The ibis are long legged waterfowl similar in appearance to a crane.

Ibis Jasper is a trade name for a brecciated jasper, a type of rock composed of broken and cemented pieces of jasper, found in Madagascar, and named for its color palette resembling the Madagascan ibis. 

Here's a more detailed look at its geology:

Brecciated Jasper: Ibis Jasper is a form of brecciated jasper, meaning it's made up of broken, angular pieces of jasper that have been cemented together by geological processes. 

Formation: Breccias can form through various processes, including weathering, volcanic activity, or other geological events that fracture rocks, followed by the re-solidification of the broken pieces.

Ibis Jasper is specifically found in Madagascar. 

The stone's color palette, with shades of brown, beige, and blue, is similar to the Madagascan ibis, a long-legged water bird. 

Quartz Cementation: The broken pieces of jasper are cemented together by different varieties of quartz.
