<P><p><b>Orbicular jasper</b> is a variety of jasper which contains variably-colored <i>orbs</i> or spherical inclusions or zones. In highly silicified rhyolite or tuff, quartz and feldspar crystallize in radial aggregates of needle-like crystals which provide the basis or <i>seed</i> for the orbicular structure seen in this kind of jasper<span class="external autonumber">[1]</span>. The material is quite attractive when polished and is used as an ornamental stone or gemstone.</p>
<p>Various local or commercial names have been used for the material,
such as kinradite, oregonite, owyhee jasper, ocean jasper and
poppy-patterned jasper, depending on the source. <i>Poppy-patterned jasper</i> or <i>Poppy jasper</i> is the varietal name for material from Morgan Hill, Santa Clara County, California. The trade name <i>ocean jasper</i> is used for a variety found along the intertidal shores of northeast Madagascar. In Nebraska orbicular jasper is found in altered rhyolite beds noted for a variety of jaspers and related agates.</p>
