Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper, a variety of chalcedony, found in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains near Morgan Hill in the Southern Santa Clara Valley, CA. Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper is a famous, but increasingly rare orbicular jasper with red and yellow dots of "poppy flowers". It is a brecciated jasper, meaning it probably came from sun-dried and oxidized iron-rich clay. The cracks were filled in by other substances.

                                               Hardness: between MOHS 6 1/2 and 7

Folklore, Legend, Healing Properties:
Poppy Jasper acts somewhat like adrenaline, waking up and energizing areas of the body that appear to be sleeping. It is believed to encourage a deep connection with the life of the Earth. It inspires a positive, joyful attitude and gives the motivation and energy to take creative action.
