Jasper

Jasper

Type	Mineral
Location	Magma Geode; Omni Geode
Sell Price	150g

Jasper is a geode mineral that comes from Magma Geodes and Omni Geodes. It belongs to the deeper part of The Mines, where Magma Geodes drop, so most farms find it later than the plain Geode minerals. It counts towards Gunther's mineral collection at the museum, and that is its most useful role. For a Magma Geode mineral its price is on the low side, so spare pieces are usually sold, gifted to the Wizard, or used for red dye and the Bandana Shirt.

The in-game description reads: When polished, this stone becomes attractively luminous. Prized by ancient peoples for thousands of years.

Location

Magma Geodes give the best odds, at about one chance in twenty-six per geode. Omni Geodes can hold Jasper too. Each Omni Geode shares its odds with every geode mineral, so it is much less likely to give Jasper in particular.

Rocks on floors 81 to 119 of The Mines drop Magma Geodes. Barrels and crates in the Skull Cavern can hold them. They also turn up in Fishing Treasure Chests, and villagers sometimes give one at the Feast of the Winter Star. A full Lava Eel Fish Pond produces a batch of them. On the Hill-top Farm and the Four Corners Farm, the small quarry has Magma Geode Nodes that drop them when broken.

Clint at the Blacksmith opens geodes for a small fee, or a Geode Crusher opens them for free. Clint hands over the Crusher recipe after his Cave Patrol special order. Daily luck leaves the contents unchanged.

Prices

Jasper sells for exactly the price of an unopened Magma Geode. Most of the other minerals inside a Magma Geode are worth more, with Star Shards, Helvite and Neptunite at the top. For selling, Jasper is one of the weaker rolls a Magma Geode can give. Jasper sells for thirty percent more with the Gemologist profession from Mining level 10.

A Crystalarium copies Jasper in about three and a half days. That earns roughly 43g a day. Jade or Amethyst earn well over twice as much in the same machine.

Uses

Donating the first Jasper to Gunther at the museum adds it to the mineral collection. Mineral milestones reward furniture such as the Standing Geode, the Singing Stone and the Obsidian Vase. The Crystal Chair arrives at forty-one minerals, and a free Crystalarium at fifty.

Putting Jasper and Cloth in the Sewing Machine makes the Bandana Shirt. Placed in the spool with a dyeable clothing item instead, Jasper dyes it red. It also fits the red dye pot at Emily and Haley's house.

Gifts

The Wizard likes Jasper. Like every geode mineral, it suits him and almost nobody else.

Among those who dislike Jasper are Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy. The children Jas, Leo and Vincent dislike it too, and so do the Dwarf, Krobus and Sandy. The same goes for the bachelors and bachelorettes Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam, Sebastian and Shane, and for the older residents Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam.

Notes

Magma Geodes collected during runs through the lowest floors of The Mines fill in Jasper and its neighbours quickly. Opening them in one batch at Clint saves trips.
