Highest quality pure fine grained material excellent for lapidary. There are many kinds of Jasper stone - one kind we will examine today. Not only in a physical way, but also in every other. Many believe that jasper crystal has metaphysical properties or healing properties. This beautiful high quality mustard yellow jasper was imported from India by Kidz Rocks. Jasper is the stone that has been worshiped since ancient times for sure many old cultures have been known for its remarkable impact on human health. Brecciated jasper can appear to be similar to breccia, a sedimentary rock composed of rock fragments in a cementing fine-grained matrix. The brecciation often leaves angular lines of jasper cut across the stone. The most common form is red or yellow jasper cemented with grey chalcedony, but there are many other color variations. Brecciated jasper is jasper that has been broken up internally and cemented together with chalcedony.

The characteristics which make the material so unusual and so prized are that, not only is it a dendritic Jasper, but the dendrites have the appearance of. Jasper is typically found in veins and cracks in volcanic rocks, often together with chalcedony and agate. Like agate, a jasper mineral is originated from chalcedony (a type of quartz) and features iron oxides, hydroxides, and other impurities, which create unique color combinations: yellow, brick-red, brown, mottled green, and, rarely, blue. Jasper is typically about 80% quartz (silicon dioxide) and 20% other materials. Name Jasper is derived from the old French language that means spotted or mottled.
