Polychrome jasper was discovered in 2006. Jaspers are formed when fine particulate materials become compacted by silica and cemented into a solid mass. A jasper's distinct pattern is determined by the flow and deposition of volcanic ash or silica sediments. The name means "spotted or speckled stone", is an opaque, impure variety of silica, usually red, yellow, brown or green in color; and rarely blue. The common red color is due to iron inclusions. The mineral aggregate breaks with a smooth surface and is used for ornamentation or as a gemstone. It can be highly polished and is used for items such as vases, seals, and snuff boxes. The specific gravity of jasper is typically 2.5 to 2.9. A green variety with red spots, known as heliotrope (bloodstone), is one of the traditional birthstones for March.
