How to Distinguish Varieties?
Red jasper is recognized by its red and brown hues, landscape jasper by its landscape-like patterns, and Dalmatian jasper by its dark spots on a light background. However, some commercial names may group different materials: therefore, the origin and identification of the supplier must be retained in the Ovie reference system.
