Beautiful jasper lapidary slabs in a wide variety of colors and patterns.

Jasper lapidary slabs are a form of Chalcedony which is a type of microcrystalline quartz.

Unlike agate, little to no light can be seen to penetrate through jasper. Jasper is usually relatively hard depending on the impurities within. The impurities give the jasper its unique colors and texture.

Jasper may also be called chert or flint depending on how it was formed or where it originated. Some specimens are called jasper but are really other types of minerals such as Rhyolite or Feldspar.

To avoid confusion,  our slabs are listed by the name they are marketed by and not necessarily their true geological composition.
