The term jasper has long been used for an opaque, impure variety of silica in the form of chalcedony or microcrystalline chert. Generally it forms near volcanic activity and the circulation of hot water is thought to be required for its formation. The contrasting colours and swirls in this stone suggest much movement among the sediment and volcanic ash.

As a healing stone, jasper brings balance that makes slow changes over time. It is a stone of protection and grounding and helps with relaxation.
