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.
