This Red Jasper with Hematite was found outside of Jerome, Arizona. This
material usually has some fractures, but stones cut from this material have
great, bright red colors banded with sparkly Hematite that makes it pop.
It varies in hardness as the Jasper is much harder than the Hematite, but
will cut relatively easily and polishes nicely with diamond or tin oxide.
