Jasper, a form of chalcedony, is an opaque,
impure variety of silica, usually red, yellow, brown or green in color; and
rarely blue. 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. The jasper is, along with Heliotrope
(bloodstone), one of the traditional birthstones for March. Jasper is found inAustralia,
Brazil,Canada,Egypt,India,Kazakhstan,Madagascar,Russia,Uruguay and theUnited States.
