Jasper is an opaque stone from quartz-family with a large range of colors. It is seldom one-colored; spots, flecks and patterns are very common for jasper. Brecciated jasper is formed in breccias - fragmented rocks where cracks get filled with other minerals. This builds a mosaic-like patterns of rich brick red, brown and black colors with specks of grey and cream.
This strikingly beautiful, colorful stone is also relatively hard & wear-resistant. A great choice for bracelets where softer stones would get scratched easier.
Note: the image gives you a good general idea of what the beads look like, but colors and patterns of natural stones may vary from lot to lot.
