Bloody Basin Jasper 1.75 inch 45 mm Gemstone Stone Sphere Rock Pretty Bloody Basin Jasper from Bloody Basin, Arizona. Jasper is an ornamental rock composed mostly of chalcedony, microcrystalline quartz, in association with other minerals, which give it colorful bands and patterns. Jasper was a favorite in the ancient world, and can be traced back in Hebrew, Assyrian, Persian, Greek & Latin. People of the 4th century called it a "rain-bringer". It was used to drive away evil spirits and protect against snake and spider bites. The name is derived from the Greek word that means “spotted stone”. Custom sphere is 1.75 inches in diameter.
