The Greek origin of the word jasper, iaspis, means "spotted stone." Although the term jasper is often applied to unidentified stones, true jaspers are metamorphic rocks. Jasper derives its colorful patterns from other minerals present, and is often named according to its pattern. Turtle Jasper is a mottled jasper that looks like turtle's shell, with shades of brown, mahogany, gold, peach and orange-red.
