Jasper Rough — Mexico

Mexican jasper rough encompasses a rich variety of opaque, fine-grained silica minerals in warm earth tones — reds, yellows, browns, and greens — drawn from volcanic and sedimentary deposits across Mexico. Jasper is one of the most versatile lapidary materials available, taking a high polish and cutting well for cabochons, tiles, carvings, and decorative objects. Known as the nurturing stone, jasper is consistently popular in healing crystal markets and a workhorse material for lapidary artists.
