Oolitic Jasper Stone Sphere Carving Ooids are small spheroidal, sedimentary grains, usually composed of calcium carbonate. Ooids usually form on the sea floor, most commonly in shallow tropical seas. After being buried under additional sediment, these ooid grains can be cemented together to form a sedimentary rock called an oolite. Jasper is from the chalcedony/quartz group. It is a microcrystalline variety of quartz that contains up to 20% foreign material. These materials are what determine the color and appearance of the stone. Also because of the foreign materials, jasper is rarely uniform in color, it is usually multicolored, striped, and/or spotted. This sphere is 3.5 inches or 88 mm in diameter.
