It is one of my favorite orbicular jaspers because of the tight orbs. It has been difficult to find. HP has been selling polychrome jasper. Both are from Madagascar and in nearby locations. HP finally had some MM on auction. I bought one a few weeks ago and I wondered why I bought it. Not much was showing. I bought another piece and it arrived today. Two pounds and what I look for in the material. ![](https://images2.imgbox.com/ff/e2/N7t3qeen_o.jpg)

That's really pretty and colorful stardiamond. May I ask you a labeling question? I have a similar piece - Here's a photo. I've been calling this "Misty Mountain Polychrome" Would that be correct. It's orby like yours but paler in color. ![](https://res.cloudinary.com/dosm6sdda/image/upload/v1720552632/fsN7tvOLRcylX3UltnNPmQ_lbxeca.jpg)

There is material that is close in appearance that is sold as Polychrome. The polychrome has slightly larger orbs. Most polychrome lacks orbs.

Thank you for clarifying that for me. I'll relabel the orby ones. Thanks again! pebblesky - those are awesome.. are they giant cabs or gorgeous tumbles? I like how the top one looks storm clouds above the coastline. Forgive me for asking and I hope that doesn't offend, just they look so perfect but so large, I got a little lost.

These are polished large palm stones that I purchased during my pre-tumble era. I was so ignorant back then, and couldn't imagine polishing stones myself without having factory-scale machines.
