Jasper
Specifications
Jasper stones are minerals belonging to the group of quartz and in particular to the group of cryptocrystalline varieties, characterised by a microcrystalline structure that gives these stones an opaque and solid texture.
Thanks to their composition, they have a wide range of colours and drawings that vary depending on the minerals in the rock.
In general, their hardness grades from 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, which means they are quite scratch resistant and suitable for artistic craftsmanship.
Jasper stones are found in many parts of the world, for example in the US, Brazil, Australia, India, Madagascar, Egypt and Russia.
