Jasper mainly occurs as red; brown and yellow jasper is common as well. Its impurities, which can amount to almost a fifth of the stone, are created by whatever is in the environment when the jasper is formed; the most common impurity is iron oxide. Jasper is mined in many places around the world; the largest deposits can be found in Australia and Brazil.
Jasper, just as with aquamarine, is an alternative March birthstone, and jasper jewelry is appropriate for anyone with a March birthday or a mother expecting in March. This unique stone, however, showcased in everything from jasper rings to jasper pendants, can make the perfect gift for anyone in your circles with a strong sense of individuality.
