Jasper is a name given to many colors of typically opaque cryptocrystalline quartz. There isn't a great deal of hard science to go on here, but the generally accepted theory is that it is formed by the penetration of sediments by hot, silica-rich fluids which cooled and hardened over time, producing an abundant, colorful, and interesting gemstone that's very durable and takes a nice polish.
