| Jasper exhibits
various colors, but chiefly brick red to brownish red. It owes its color to admixed
hematite, but when it occurs with clay admixed, the color is a yellowish white or gray, or
with goethite, a brown or yellow. Often jasper is multi-colored. The hue
or saturation of color may vary across the material. Jasper is common and widely distributed, occurring chiefly as veinlets, concretions, and replacements in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, as in the Urals, North Africa, Sicily, France, India, Venezula and Germany. Some varieties are color-banded, and beautiful examples of jasperized fossil wood are found in Arizona, U.S. In USA Jasper is also found in California, Utah and Wyoming.
