About Cherry Creek Jasper

Cherry Creek Jasper—also known as Red Creek Jasper—is a vibrant, scenic jasper from China prized for its rich palette of earthy reds, golds, greens, and smoky grays. The stone is famous for its intricate, painterly patterns that resemble abstract landscapes or branching river systems, created by networks of iron-rich veins that formed as silica slowly replaced ancient sedimentary rock. These colorful patterns are the result of varying oxidation states of iron and other trace minerals, giving each piece a dramatic, one-of-a-kind look.

Discovered in the Cherry Creek mining district of China’s Gansu Province in the early 2000s, this jasper quickly gained popularity among lapidaries and collectors for its ability to take a high polish and its striking, picture-jasper–style scenes. Its combination of durability, color contrast, and natural artistry makes it a favorite for polished stones, cabochons, spheres, carvings, and display pieces.

Every specimen of Cherry Creek Jasper is unique—no two patterns or color arrangements are ever the same—making it an exceptional choice for collectors and anyone who appreciates stones with bold character and natural visual drama.
