Rainbow jasper is a blend of burgundy, brown and gold colors in broad banding patterns. Like all jasper, its deeply banded colors come from organic material and iron oxides embedded in it.

The broad swirls and patterns of colors are actually finely divided minerals such as clay and iron oxide.

History Of Rainbow Jasper
Rainbow jasper contains banded colors of red, brown and tan resembling a rainbow. Large rainbow jasper boulders are used to embellish gardens, landscaping or water installations. The cliff dwelling Anasazi Native Americans of Mesa Verde in southwest Colorado formed arrowheads from rainbow jasper.

The word "jasper" is derived from the Greek word iaspi meaning "spotted stone," related to the Hebrew jashpeh and the ancient Assyrian word ashpu. Jaspers were worn by Egyptian priests in amulets covered with inscriptions from their Book of the Dead and wrapped up with mummies for protection in the afterlife. The Minoans of Crete carved seals for the palace of Knossos of jasper.

Jasper was the 12th stone in the breastplate of the Hebrew High Priest, and is said to be the foundation stone of New Jerusalem. Some Native American tribes used jasper to dowse for water and to call rain.

Geological Properties
Rainbow jasper is a blend of burgundy, brown and gold colors in broad banding patterns. Like all jasper, its deeply banded colors come from organic material and iron oxides imbedded in it. Rainbow jasper is found in Africa and India.
Again, like other jasper gemstones, rainbow jasper is a chalcedony and member of the quartz group. The broad swirls and patterns of colors are actually finely divided minerals such as clay and iron oxide.
Jasper is a variety of quartz that may contain up to 20 percent foreign materials or inclusions, including organic material and mineral oxides, which determine the color, pattern and appearance of the stone. Uniformly colored jasper is uncommon but not unheard of; usually jasper is multicolored, spotted or banded. This stone is opaque, even in thin slices, and takes a high polish. Different types of jasper display different lusters. Like agate, the wide selection of jaspers includes a range of trade names and classifications that are used by jewelry makers and collectors.
