Jasper & Gaspeite Necklace
This necklace has been hand-made with jasper, gaspeite, and onyx beads. It measures 18 inches with a lobster claw clasp.
Gaspeite is a rare nickel carbonate mineral and a member of the calcite mineral group. It was first discovered on the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec, Canada, from which it received its name.
Although often referred to as a mineral, jasper is in fact a rock. This is because although made up primarily of quartz and/or chalcedony, it often features impurities of other minerals and substances. These impurities are the reason why most jasper is opaque. They're also responsible for the many different colors and markings.
