Jasper Red
Jasper is an opaque, impure variety of quartz, usually red, yellow or brown in color. This mineral breaks with a smooth surface, and is used for ornamentation or as a gemstone. It can be highly polished and is used for vases, seals, and at one time for snuff boxes. When the colors are in stripes or bands, it is called striped or banded jasper. Jaspilite is a banded iron formation rock that often has distinctive bands of jasper.
This deep, brick red jasper is similar to pipestone - a soft red stone mined in Minnesota for centuries by the Plains Indians for the carving and making of pipes. Red jasper is luscious with unakite, turquoise or bone. Red jasper is found in Australia and India.
