Green jasper stone bracelet

Jasper is a very common opaque and compact stone, belonging to the quartz family, which has different colors (from red to green, to yellow and brown) depending on the inclusions of different foreign substances.

It is of secondary origin and derives from the deposition of silica directly from waters in clayey or sandy rocks. During the progressive transformation into quartz, the fine particles of clay and sand remain trapped in the jasper in formation, causing its opacity and the surface designs that characterize it.

The most ancient deposits, according to Pliny the Elder, were found in Ethiopia, Cyprus and India; today the most important are in Brazil, Australia and India. In Italy, jasper is found in Tyrol, Tuscany and Liguria.
