Picture jasper is an opaque rock of virtually any color stemming from the mineral content of the original sediments or ash. It is an extremely interesting mineral that has been known to man for thousands of years. In fact, there is even evidence of prehistoric man using jasper as weapons or tools in Ethiopia, perhaps millions of years ago.

Picture jasper   is mainly known to come in three different colors, yellow, brown and red. Besides these colors, it can also come as striped or spotted. It can sometimes be found with plenty of mineral inclusions such as Hematite or Goethite. When other minerals are present, Jasper takes on wild and attractive hues and attributes. Jasper comes in many sizes and can sometimes be found in big chunks usually near quartz veins.
