Jasper
Jasper is derived from the Greek for "spotted stone". Jasper is usually considered a chalcedony, but scientists put it in a group by itself because of its grainy structure. Finely grained, dense jasper contains up to twenty percent foreign materials that determine its color, streak and appearance. Uniform jasper is rare; it is usually multicolored, striped, spotted or flamed.
