Love the education on jaspers. I really like the two big green ocean jaspers, the colors are amazing, and the shine. Thanks for the rock talk.

[@shinobihouzin]

The tangents these two go off on are hilarious!!

[@barbaraphillips5608]

Love the picture jasper, like the sun going down by the cliff intaria

[@rogerhargreaves2272]

I can’t agree with you more. Pretty spectacular.

[@javen9693]

ive vowed to not buy anything for weeks to save for my state's mineral show in april... but the flame jaspers broke me 🔥

[@jg5930]

Love Jasper! 🥰 so many colours and variations .

[@joieyoung-broin1500]

Jasper is my absolute favorite group of stones. ❤️

[@de4no_the_dino348]

Great video!

[@lissetteflores4469]

👏 👏 good job team. 🎉 What a wonderful episode. With the links being in the description box, I've already had a look at what I want. The intarsia of the beach shelf drop off! I want it 😅❤🪨

[@khin7075than]

Very nice.

[@largent45]

Wow those intarsia are beautiful! And the Cabochon from the closer look. The really large freeform are nice too! Everything is just Wow! I'm definitely going to head over to the website! They are all such a amazing jaspers! And polychrome is one of my favorites! The big bold coloration of it just reminds me of a Picasso! Thanks you two for doing such a good job, presenting and explaining the differences!❤

[@michaeltrudell9356]

It's interesting to see that Jasper can be other colors, and not just reddish brown. A lot of the agates and these Jasper have a lot 😂beauty!

[@krisyanharyadi]

You both just like a child having toys in hand.. 😂 Amazing isnt it...

[@SharpAssKnittingNeedles]

I love watching gemologists wring their hands on whether to call it jasper or agate or flint cuz to us it's all just chert 😂 obviously we're not capturing the nuance of how it captures crud to make it look beautiful and special, but yep geology-wise it's pretty monolithic, at least when you're in the field observing the effects it has

[@Nervii_Champion]

They all have varying amounts of different minerals. The content of silica, microcrystaline quartz, and other stuff is all variable.

[@caitlintoner824]

I would love a video on ocean picture Stone

[@dcallan812]

interesting stones. 👍👍

[@papimasfuerte4671]

I like gemstones for their color and durability and brilliance. That makes sense. But come on bruh, these are just rocks.

[@tanman7627]

What a cutie ❤!

[@russellmcclarnon1257]

My Jasper come from iowa😅

[@milanopiano]

OH MY GOD Those intarsias! Holy moly amazing 😍

[@ResortDog]

Jasper grades to agate grades to quartz on concentration of impurities in the fluid being deposited. The clear areas are quartz crystals & on the rough would be fingers grown together on the tops of plumes in the center of the veins.

[@fennynough6962]

Jasper, colors are said to have differnt healing qualities. My favorite is the Solid Chunky Red, or Green. I have an Arrowhead that is redish, greenish, & brownish, & puts all other Arrowheads to shame. It would seam that a solid, pure color, is much rarer than any other kind? Chert, is the best gem, for hand held rock therapy. Mini Statues,🦖 & Effugies,🐢[are made for Jasper artists to create]! I.M.O.

[@tonyl3146]

I'm suprised you didn't show any Ocean picture stone with all these.

[@patriciawand4768]

✨❤️🧡💛💚💙💜✨

[@paulskillman6634]

What would you do without a diamond blade saw?

[@kathrynparker9790]

Start with " The Greeks invented the science of astronomy from astrology " and go back in time from there . 😂❤

[@avaphoenix317]

you guys are hilarious. you might have some extrememly low grade kabamby. the term ocean jasper is a trademark for enter the earth mines and sells. its not mined when the tide is out, the original kabamby mines are dug out. the remainder in minedn the marovato area. fraking educate yourselves, it takes 30 seconds to google enter the earth and learn the facts instead of making up whatever you want 😊😂😂😂😂

[@gems]

Our info comes straight from the guy who mined it

[@chrism4008]

It's truly incredible that these commenter's just believe everything that the first result on Google tells them 😂😂😂 That's gotta create so many absurd problems in their lives

[@avaphoenix317]

@@gemsno it didnt. If you aren’t sourcing from enter the earth “the guy who mined it” then you don’t have ocean jasper. its a trademark name. You claim when the tide is out, the original kabamby mine was depleted over a decade ago. So you are not buying your current lot from the guy who discovered that because he’s dead. You look stupid to actual people who deal in icean jasper.

[@avaphoenix317]

@@chrism4008I referred to google because it’s a simple search engine to google enter the earth and inform yourself if basic facts regarding ocean jasper. In terms of myself, I could write a book on ocean jasper. Oh wait. I did.

[@user-nw5ml7lr2b]

@3:16 still completely avoided a very simple answer to a question how do you draw the line between Jasper and agate!!!!! Not how do you draw the line between ocean Jasper, and other Jasper, or ocean Jasper and agate no!!!!! JTV just completely refused to tell us the simple difference between Jasper and agate in general!!!! So no anybody that is new and to gemstone collecting or even just educating yourself I would suggest if JTV says it's agate it may not be nfj TV says it's Jasper it's probably less than Jasper!!!!!! Just saying!!!!

Please remember, this is a conversation. They won't provide the complete definitions each time. Jasper is an opaque, fine grained species of chalcedony comprised of myriad microscopic quartz crystals intermixed with various impurities. Jasper can come in any color and it takes on many appearances. Agate is the term used to describe the banded form of chalcedony. The term also covers translucent chalcedony varieties like moss agate, dendritic agate and phenomenal varieties like fire agate and iris agate. Ocean jasper is a variety of orbicular jasper. However, since ocean jasper is translucent, many consider these to be a form of agate. We include a link to gemstones.com with each video, where you can learn more. Have a nice day!
