Ironite Jasper

Jasper: Jasper stone

In Greek, jasper means" spotted stone". In ancient times it was used as an amulet against sight disturbances and drought. Found in India, Russia, U.S, and France, jasper is a stone of harmony and proportion. The finely grained jasper contains up to 20% foreign particles that give it its interesting color combinations. As a result there are many varieties of jasper including leopardskin jasper – a "fall" shade. And zebra-stone, poppy, picture, ironite, and flower jasper. The names are descriptive and fit the stone.
