Orbicular Jasper
Orbicular jasper is an altered rhyolite which has spheres or dots in it. In highly silicified rhyolite tuffs the quartz and feldspar crystals create radiating structures. These are known as spherulites.
Depending on the amount if silica and how long the rhyolite is exposed, will dictate how hard, translucent and crystalline the alteration is.
This type of jasper occurs in many places and is often a small local deposit with no name.

Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper - A spotted jasper from Morgan Hill, California USA south of San Francisco
