Physical Properties
Jasper is found in all colors including red, brown, pink, yellow, green, gray/white, and shades of blue and purple. It is rated 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale.
The stone is especially attractive because of the vibrant colors and diverse spotted, swirled, and linear patterns which naturally develop in it.
The unique artistry of jasper is that of nature itself — golden sunshine, a nighttime sky, poppy fields or a deep green forest, desert sands, the undulating ocean, red rock canyons, and sweeping mountains.
Each stone is a masterpiece of the Creator, bold and primitive in style, solid and earthy in form, with a warm, harmonious energy that resonates with the primal self.
