Jasper Cabochons

Jasper usually refers to an opaque stone, with a solid color or an irregular display of colors caused by various mineral impurities. The named is derived from the Greek word that means “spotted stone”.

Jaspers are found all over the world, with certain colors or patterns unique to particular localities. All Jasper cabochons take an excellent polish, are trouble free to care for, and hardy enough for all jewelry uses.

Most Jaspers are named after their colors or their appearance, or from where they are found.
