Picture Jasper is a type of Jasper, which is an opaque and impure variety of Quartz that contains variable amounts of other mineral impurities. Picture Jasper is a relatively rare stone that forms in extremely ancient volcanic ash beds that date back to the Upper Cretaceous period, around 100 million years ago. This particular type of formation can be found in only one location in the world; multiple sites along the Muddy River in the desert of Jasper County, South Dakota. The Muddy River is part of the Missouri River that flows into Lewis and Clark Lake. There are only two claims for this deposit through mining operations; one claim is still active today while the other was abandoned many years ago. It was formed during a period of intense cataclysmic activity which resulted in alternating layers of various types of ash and burnt debris being deposited over many thousands of miles. The various layers of ash and debris, composed of quartz grains and fragments, and other mineral impurities were all heated to extreme temperatures. This heating process caused the individual crystals to align in an alternating fashion while still in a semi-fused state. This combination of heat and pressure-formed massive deposits that today are mined for use as flooring stones, facing stones, and more. Picture Jasper was mined in South Dakota until the mid-1960s when it became too expensive to continue mining due to the poor quality of the stone. Currently, it can only be found as a by-product of Opal mining operations that are still active today.
