The distinctive, light-colored, peanut-shaped inclusions in Peanutwood Jasper contrast sharply with the dark background, creating an almost artistic and visually arresting effect. The origin of these inclusions can be traced to petrified debris from ancient trees that settled in silt after sinking to the bottom of a primordial sea. Peanutwood Jasper’s unique patterns and shapes were left behind as silica progressively replaced the wood over millions of years. It is used in jewelry, lapidary work, and as a sought-after collector’s stone.
