Jasper - a collage of colors
Jasper is formed from the mineral quartz and is created when silica-rich fluids flow through sedimentary or volcanic rocks and fill their fractures or cavities. As a result of different minerals, temperature and pressure conditions during formation, jasper comes in a dazzling array of colors and patterns, from fiery reds and oranges to serene blues and greens, making it a sought-after material.
