I absolutely admire the Jasper gemstone for its vivid colors and interesting patterns. Recently, I have read that there is a distinctive type of Jasper named Morgan Hill Poppy. Could anyone elaborate on this?

Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper is indeed a member of the chalcedony family famous for featuring spotted stones. This gemstone is named Poppy Jasper due to the yellow and red orbicular patterns that could be found within the stone, that greatly resemble a poppy flower. Poppy Jasper could be found in Germany, India, Russia, Pakistan, France and the United States. There are only four known locations for this particular gemstone near the town of Morgan Hill, California, and they are all on private property or protected parks. That is why Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper has not been mined for many years. This gemstone is marked 7.0 on the Moh's hardness scale of elements. Just like jaspers of all kinds, Poppy Jasper has also been attributed with magical powers. It is believed to act as an adrenaline booster, energizing different areas of the body. Just like adrenaline, Poppy Jasper is believed to inspire a joyful sensation and act as an energy motivator. It is also believed that Poppy Jasper could confer a rush of creativity flow to its wearer.
