Description
Fancy Jasper is a type of Jasper, also known as the Stone of Tranquility. It is a form of opaque Chalcedony with varying concentrations of iron oxide. Its name is derived from the vivid colors it displays, including green, mauve, lilac, and cream, due to the presence of trace minerals, making it a sought-after stone that has been held in high regard throughout history. It is chemically similar to other forms of Jasper, with varying concentrations of iron oxide.
While it may be mistaken for Fancy Agate at first glance, Fancy Jasper is completely opaque, with very little translucency.
