Green Jasper

Rock Lore & Tidbits: Jasper is a fine-grained chalcedony, a microcrystalline quartz. Sometimes other decorative stones are called jasper even if they are silicified rock, especially silicified rhyolite as in the case of Rainforest Jasper. Orbicular or eye jasper has round "eyes" in concentric circles, as in Ocean Jasper. Picture jasper looks as though it is a painted abstract or nature picture. Jasper is a common stone and comes in many beautiful colors and patterns. Its wide availability often makes its powerful energy and beauty under-appreciated, although there are collectors who specialize in jaspers.
