Appears to be low grade Australian mineral Variscite that people have attributed to the Jasper group. It is not. It has just been given a fancy marketing name. A very pretty stone none the less, but not as hard or durable sa Jasper and porous enough to be dyed in many colours not the original green and sand.. Give away to dying is the spider web feature not being the original sand colour. Many enhanced stones this apears to be silvery in colour.

Where does Jasper stone come from?
Patterns arise of jasper during the consolidation process forming flow and depositional patterns in a rich silica sediment or volcanic ash. Hydrothermal circulation is needed in the formation of jasper.
What is it called when a sediment drops to the bottom of the sea?
Deposition.
Why is sediment deposited in coastal areas?
The sediment is washed into the sea by runoff from the land, especially by rivers and streams. Most of this sediment does not travel very far offshore before settling.
An igneous rock becomes a sedimentary rock when what occurs?
When an Igneous rock is broken down by physical processes it can become sediment, carried along rivers and waterways to reach the sea and the oceans. When upon the seabed, it is slowly covered by other sediment, and the combined force of the water above and sediment above working with sea mud and other sea deposits forms sedimentary rock.
Why do rock and not fossils form sedimentary rock and not igneous rock?
Because sedimentery rock is formed under the sea, sediment collects at the bottom of the ocean, and so does a few dead sea creatures, then t gets squashed by other sediment, igneous rock is formed by lava cooling, so there is no fossils in it.
Where does sea sediment Jasper come from?
Sea sediment jasper is a type of jasper that is often found near the shores of oceans, where sediments have accumulated over time. The unique patterns and colors in sea sediment jasper are a result of different minerals and compounds being deposited in the sediment layers that eventually solidify into jasper.
What is the Jasper sea?
You could be thinking of the Jasper Sea Quartet based in Zambia. There is also a fishing vessel known as the Jasper Sea
How high is the elevation of Jasper?
The elevation of Jasper, Alberta, Canada is around 3,428 feet (1,045 meters) above sea level.

Deposition.
What made the Midwest so flat?
The midwest was once an inland sea. Over time organic sediment that sunk to the bottom of the sea created a uniformly flat surface on the sea floor. When the sea dried the sediment was left uniformly flat.
Why is sediment deposited in coastal areas?
The sediment is washed into the sea by runoff from the land, especially by rivers and streams. Most of this sediment does not travel very far offshore before settling.
What else do you think rivers carry to the sea besides salt?
sediment
What is a sediment deposit extending from the mouth of a river into the sea?
Alluvial fan
What does sediment form into when it falls to the sea bed?
when sediment falls into the sea it forms into sedimentary rock which then turns into metamorphic rock and back again it comes from the volcanoes it plays a major role in the rock cycle
When sea animals die they fell to the sea bed and buried what did they turn into?
Do You Know The Sedimentary Rocks?They are formed into sediment on the sea floorsediment is sand
Rivers are important in the formation of sedimentary rock because?
they wash sediment into the sea
