What is Jasper?
Jasper is an opaque, fine-grained quartz rock mixed with iron oxides and other minerals. It comes in red, yellow, brown and green, often with veins, bands or picture-like patterns.
Gujarat and other parts of India produce large amounts of jasper. It is sturdy, polishes to a deep shine and is ideal for tumbled stones, beads and carvings.
