Lapidary Rocks - Lets take a look at Jasper

Let's take a look at Jasper - two main types Red Creek Jasper and Ocean Jasper. We talk about the different ways to work the stones the hardness and what to look for in purchasing the rock for lapidary cutting and polishing. I show examples of each rock raw and polished.

I’m obsessed with jaspers right now. I only knew about red, gree and yellow jasper, I had no idea there could be so many variations.

I hope so too!

[@ElGatoLoco698]

I noticed that Noreena jasper also gives a satin finish. I rather like the satin finish.

[@DanielMillerlife]

That is cool ... Thank you for watching.

Whats the market price for jasper ? I have some of it. Collected them as a kid here in the Faroe Islands

[@DanielMillerlife]

It can be $2 per pound to up to $100 or more a pound. It all de[ends on the rarity, quality, color, what area it came from. Best thing is to check out other sellers of the same product. If you can go to the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show you can see what they sell things for. Good question. Thank you for watching. Keep on Rocking.

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

David planning a trip to the Philippines hopefully this year.
I would love to educate myself on the Agates and Jaspers
found there and in surrounding southeast Asian countries.
Keep on Rocking. Thank you for watching.

i used to live on the Eel River in northern California, we had boulders of jasper the size of cars. most was red but also some poppy. one day i resolved to get one home the boulder i selected was about 150-175 lbs. i still have it sitting on the porch. great conversation piece. any idea what uncut price per pound is? its very bright red.

[@DanielMillerlife]

Any where from $3 to $10. Thank you for watching. Keep on Rocking.

[@GravelBarHopper]

Thanks for the info! I've been learning how to cut and polish Crowley Ridge agate Cabochons and would love to do some nice jasper. Wheres a trust worthy place online I can buy some jasper?

[@DanielMillerlife]

Do some research on the different types of Jasper, Look for prices, hardness, quality and then decide what you want to buy. One Major seller is Kingsley North. But there are others out there .. check with Gem and mineral clubs.

[@therockdad1]

Jasper is awesome

[@DanielMillerlife]

Thank you for watching. Yes I love Jasper too, good rock to polish and work with.
Keep on Rocking.

[@odaial-zaghal3749]

I have a stone that I think is precious, how do I know??

[@DanielMillerlife]

All rocks can be precious. If you know where it came from then you can get some books or look online at photos then read the make up of the rock. Learning as you go. Otherwise take to a rock show with information as to where it came from. Thank you for watching. Keep on Rocking.

[@just_some_bloke]

Thank you. I think you will find jasper is more like 7 on the Moh scale.

[@DanielMillerlife]

Thanks for watching. it can differ from rock to rock.

[@nigtturner]

What sort is best for beginners

[@DanielMillerlife]

jasper, agate, rhyolite the important thing is not the stone. You need to look at each stage of cutting and polishing to make sure you have completed each one as perfect as you can before going to the next stage in the polishing. If not, you will find yourself starting back several steps to get rid of scratches. Good question. Keep on Rocking Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@chrisnewport8642]

Could u help me identify a rock I found?think it’s Jasper but way to many colors

[@DanielMillerlife]

I will start doing videos on types of rocks and minerals that make up the rocks this month. Thank you for watching.

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Dude thinks jasper is 3-4 on the Mohs Scale... sheesh...
