Picture Jasper Bracelet

 - A Picture Jasper Bracelet is a piece of jewelry made from Picture Jasper, a type of Jasper, a form of chalcedony which is a microcrystalline variety of quartz. It's a lovely brown stone loved for its highly detailed, earthy designs and unique patterns which are said to mimic beautiful landscapes or abstract paintings.Picture Jasper gets its name from these intricate patterns which sometimes seem to tell a story or form a picture, hence the name 'Picture'. The colors can range from tan or brown to darker shades of black or grey, with streaks of color that form the 'pictures' inside the stone. These patterns are naturally occurring and are caused by mineral deposits such as iron and other sediment like clay, algae, or siliceous ooze.In bracelet form, Picture Jasper may be cut and polished into beads strung on elastic or wire, or into a cabochon as the centerpiece for a more detailed piece.
