Is this jasper? If so, is this dyed?
Hey, I'm new to this subreddit. Hopefully I'm doing this right, ha.
These were sold to me as "ocean jasper", but I wouldn't be surprised if they were some other kind of jasper, or maybe a different stone.
I heard a lot of sellers make resin pieces, dye glass, or dye agate. I also read from a couple websites that purple-ish jasper is relatively uncommon, but I'm still learning what's reliable information and what isn't.
Photos 1-4 are of the reddish and green, the rest are the purple-ish one.
Here's the information I collected:
-My clear quartz cannot scratch the polished parts of them.
-They can both scratch glass.
-The reddish one seems to have imperfections as "holes" and the purple one has that random tannish splotch.
-They don't seem porous. Water rolls off the polished parts and just sits on the bottoms for a while.
-The purple one has a sticker stain on the bottom, if you're wondering what that is
I'm not sure where the seller bought these from.
Anyway, any ideas?
