Cherry Creek

This is Cherry Creek Jasper, the colorful new jasper found in Mainland China, also known as Red Creek Jasper or Picasso Jasper.

Jasper is a member of the Chalcedony family. Chalcedony (kal SED' nee) is any form of microcrystalline quartz, where the crystals are too small to be seen without high magnification. Jasper usually refers to an opaque stone, with a solid color or an irregular display of colors caused by various mineral impurities. The named is derived from the Greek word that means “spotted stone”. Most Jaspers get their name from either their location or their appearance.
