Jasper found in Wyoming
On this page I will post photos of jasper I have found and photographed. These were all found in the state of Wyoming, U.S.A.
Above is red jasper, which I wet partially to reveal the true color of the stone.
Rust colored jasper
This I would consider a conglomerate specimen, with black jasper as the matrix, that has embedded within it what appears to be white and yellow quartz.
The large semi-round boulder in the center of this photo of rocks in a dry creek bed is jasper -- it has been tumbled by the waters and is dark golden yellow with reddish rust streaks.

Olive Green jasper striated with streaks of white quartz.

Types of Jasper
This blog is about the various types of jasper to be found on this earth.
First I will begin listing types of jasper, and will organize them alphabetically later in future.
Also I will review and eliminate any duplications.
I have included names used on Ebay by sellers, which may not be accurate but if one is seeking to buy jasper in Ebay auctions, its good to know the offhand not-so-genuine nicknames for these stones.
