Jasper Heart, Indonesia

Jasper is a term that can be applied to an opaque variety of chalcedony. The opaqueness is due to a higher concentration of impurities mixed with silica/quartz compared to other varieties of silica, such as quartz or agates. Like agate it may form in a wide variety of colors, and is often multi-colored. Brecciated jasper is known for its dramatic, fractured patterns that look like natural mosaic artwork.

Each heart is unique- the carving you receive may differ in size, shape, coloring, and pattern than the one seen in the picture.
