Maligano Jasper
The process of working Maligano jasper into a cabochon was a live-and-learn experience for lapidary artist Keith Dull. The material, which was first discovered in Indonesia less than a decade ago, has quickly garnered fans among collectors and lapidary artists alike. Dull had this to say about his first experience working with Maligano jasper, “It was like learning a new lapidary skill. (The material) was much softer than I imagined, yet it surprised me with its super polishing properties, despite the softness.”
