Collector notes

Snake skin jasper is an opaque, microcrystalline quartz featuring distinctive, scale-like or net-like patterns that resemble reptilian skin. It typically occurs in earthy color combinations including red, brown, green, cream, and gray, and has a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7. Authentic red varieties commonly originate from ancient banded iron formations (such as the Weeli Wooli Formation) in Western Australia, while green or brown variations come from regions like South Africa and Indonesia.
