The name Jasper means spotted stone and is derived from Anglo-French jaspre. One of the most famous varieties of Jasper is Picture Jasper. Another common name for Picture Jasper is Scenic Jasper. Picture Jasper has bands and stripes of different colors creating images and stylized designs Each piece of Picture Jasper is one-of-a-kind. Apparently Jasper was a favorite gem in ancient times. Jasper is referenced in Assyrian, Greek, Hebrew and Latin literatures. During the medieval times, Jasper was reputed to give the wearer the power to heal insanity and to heal those possessed by devils. During the fourth century, wearing green Jasper was practiced to bring rain as well as to cure snake bites. Jasper amulets have been found engraved with passages from the Book of the Dead by the ancient Egyptians probably to procure safe passage for the deceased while in the realm of the dead. And, according to one source, the word Yasfeh in Exodus 28:20 means Jasper and was the stone on the Ephod representing the tribe of Benjamin. This mineral can be highly polished and is used for jewelry, seals, snuff boxes and vases. Jasper has a hardness of 6.5 to 7.0 on the Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness. Jasper is the state rock of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Picture Jasper is one of the alternate birthstones of January. Many colored or banded forms of Jasper are known by special names.

Jasper is found worldwide including the United States of America. Many popular types of Jasper are named from the location of that particular source.
