Jasper (Red) | Tumbled

Jasper is a microcrystalline variety of Quartz, a silicon dioxide mineral with a hardness of 6.5 to 7. Its crystal system is hexagonal (trigonal). In Jasper, the Quartz microcrystals are laid out in sugar-like grains rather than the fibrous layers found in its close relative, Chalcedony. The name Jasper is derived from a Greek word meaning "spotted stone". Jaspers can include up to 20% foreign minerals, which account for its wide variety of colors and patterns. It occurs in nodules or as fillings in fissures.
