Imperial Jasper is an opaque, impure chalcedony (SiO2) from Zacatecas, Mexico, first described as a distinct variety by collectors in the early 2000s and named for its regal, rose-like nodules such as the famous 19 cm specimen called "The Rose."
Zacatecas, located in the mineral-rich state of Zacatecas, Mexico, is a historic mining locality known for its copper-silver underground operations, including the prominent Cozamin Mine situated 3.6 km north-northwest of Zacatecas City. The region has produced notable specimens of native silver, acanthite, and baryte, reflecting its rich skarn and underground mineralization. Collectors value Zacatecas for its well-documented mines such as Cozamin, Bote, and Quebradillas, which have yielded high-quality silver and copper minerals. Today, Zacatecas remains a relevant and sought-after locality for mineral enthusiasts seeking authentic Mexican silver and copper specimens from active and historic mines.
