- Bumble bee “jasper” is not a true jasper because it does not consist primarily of microcrystalline quartz. It is a technically a sedimentary rock that contains varying amounts of sulfur, manganese oxides, the arsenic-sulfide minerals realgar and orpiment, and the calcium-carbonate minerals calcite and aragonite. It forms in volcanic fumarole environments and is a porous, layered, multicolored rock that is cemented together by carbonate minerals.
- The term jasper is a misnomer, as this vibrantly colored orange, yellow, and black material actually formed from a mixture of Indonesian volcano lava and sediment. A carbonate-rich rock first discovered on the island of Java during the 1990s, the material is soft, with a Mohs hardness of 5 or below.
