These Afghan Jade spheres, composed of banded calcite, display soft pistachio green, creamy celadon, and buttery yellow tones layered in natural flowing bands. The polished surface enhances their gentle translucency, allowing light to move beautifully through the stone and highlight its organic striping. Some pieces may show warm honey accents or subtle marbling, making each sphere uniquely patterned and one of a kind.
