Poppy Jasper 
Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper is an orbicular gemstone material with red and yellow orbs or "poppy flowers". It comes from Morgan Hill, California near the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

There are four known locations of Poppy Jasper near the town of Morgan Hill, none of which are now being actively mined because the rock is found only on private property or protected lands.

The Greek origin of the word jasper, iaspis, means "spotted stone." It is a member of the chalcedony family, or a microcrystalline quartz, and it has a hardness of about 7 on the Moh's scale.
