Jasper is an opaque, fine grained species of chalcedony comprised of myriad microscopic quartz crystals intermixed with various impurities. Jasper can come in any color, and it takes on many appearances. Many varieties of Jasper are named for the location they are found. Many stones that are called jasper in the gemstone trade are rhyolite or other stone materials. The best-known jaspers are bloodstone, picture jasper, porcelain jasper, and brecciated jasper.
 
Jasper is found all over the world, but most specimens come from India and Australia. When we speak of the “meaning” of a stone, it looks at esoteric qualities that the stone embodies.
These qualities are usually recognized as being part of the crystal’s effects on the human mind and/or body and have come into being after thousands of years of observation by people in all sorts of situations or cultures. One of the most common interpretations of the spiritual meaning of Jasper is that it carries an energy, or vibrations of peace, calm and tranquility. It confers patience and understanding on all who connect with it. Jasper is also widely held to be a very nurturing stone, bringing comfort and reassurance to the wearer.
