Jasper is a member of the Quartz family, one of the largest families of stones in the world. Jasper is found in many colors and patterns, thus resulting in many names for the different varieties, normally named for their pattern. Some color options for Jasper are Grayish blue, green, off-white, white, yellow, orange, red, pink, black, opaque, and brown. Jasper very rarely has a uniform color, as it often has other materials mixed in with it. There are over 50 varieties of jasper, often with a blotch like, or vein like pattern. Jasper is one of the oldest known gemstones, and was very popular in ancient times. It has been written about in Greek, Hebrew, Assyrian, Persian and Latin prints, as well as the Bible. Jasper is found in many locations including Canada, USA, Africa, Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Russia, Sicily, and Venezuela.
