Description
Yellow Jasper has a Trigonal crystal system and is in the mineral class of oxide, the quartz group. Its coloring is yellow, sandy and going to almost brown. The darker, leaning to a purple, stripes show nicely the sedimentary manner that this stone is formed.
The term of Jasper originated from the orient. In the Middle Ages it meant the same as our present day word of Quartz. Even today, colorful stones that are hard to identify often times are called Jasper. An example would be Silver Eye Serpentine being referred to as Zebra Jasper.
