Major deposits include India, Brazil, Madagascar and Australia. Its chemical formula is SiO₂, and it belongs to the quartz family. Its hardness is around 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale.
Popular varieties include red jasper, dalmatian jasper, mookaite jasper, polychrome jasper, breccia jasper and ocean jasper.

Worry Stones
Other names for this cut stone include thumb stone or worry stone. The Worry Stone has a dimple in which the thumb can be placed. Moving or rubbing the thumb in this dimple would possibly have a calming effect, which explains the origin of the names mentioned. We offer worry stones in three different forms: Oval, Heart and Drop.
