Jasper is an ornamental rock composed mostly of chalcedony, microcrystalline quartz, in association with other minerals, which give it colorful bands and patterns. It is found all over the world and is usually named after its location or its physical appearance.
Jasper was a favorite gem in the ancient world, and the name jasper can be traced back in Hebrew, Assyrian, Persian, Greek, and Latin. The Greek origin of the word jasper, iaspis, means "spotted stone."
