Kambaba JasperĀ
GEO 4217
KAMBABA JASPER is a sedimentary stone that is FOSSILIZED BLUE GREEN ALGAE (prokaryotic bacteria). Kambaba jasper is a fossilized blue-green algae sedimentary stone, an algae plant with sand and debris that has been fossilized.
Most mineralogists know it as "Green Stromatolite Jasper" a fossilized algae. It is also identified as "Stromatolite Kambaba Jasper" or "Kambaba Jasper stromatolite". This stone has again been recently renamed by wholesalers in South Africa and Madagascar as "Kambaba Jasper" to deceive the public into believing it is a new find. It is not a new find. It is a newly found formation of green stromatolite jasper. It is the same "Green Stromatolite Jasper" (a fossilized algae) that comes in many variations from the African Rift system.
The East African Rift System is a complicated system of rift segments which provide a modern analog to help us understand how continents break apart. It is also a great example of how many natural systems can be intertwined - this unique geological setting may have altered the local climate which may have in turn caused our ancestors to develop the skills necessary to walk upright, develop culture and ponder how such a rift came to be. Just like the Grand Canyon, the East African Rift System should be high on any geologist's list of geologic marvels to visit.
Making use of stone that we personally collect, cut and polish to a mirror finish, coupled with high powered lenses, we transport the viewer into a microscopic world, far beyond what the naked eye perceives. The diversity, originality and beauty of what is revealed defy description. Those images are then transferred onto a variety of mediums. Consider textiles that are transformed into decor including decorative pillows, bedding, table linens, for both home and commercial use. And fabrics for the fashion world. GEO originals has opened the door to a realm of beauty crossing all genres with endless applications.
Choose your favorite(s) images, choose your fabric and let us know how many yards! We have a number of different fabrics available for selection - each is priced per yard. We will also provide additional custom order fabrics upon request (please contact GEO originals).
Samples are available.
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colors and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. The textile industry is rife with sustainability problems: from the use of toxic inks and wasteful practices for materials and water, to a race to utilize the cheapest materials such as vinyl—no matter the environmental impact. Our print-on-demand process is designed to minimize fabric and ink waste. Reducing the use of materials, energy and water by choosing a pigment printing process instead of reactive dye
