Description: | Jasper is a micro-crystalline form of quartz, which means that it is made up of crystals that are so small that they can only be seen with the aid of a microscope. Jasper is an opaque (the opposite of transparent), mineral, which typically has a smooth, waxy appearance. This distinctive red and green banded jasper is from the Ural Mountains in Siberia, Russia. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | rocks and minerals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
