Kona dolomite jasper belongs to quartzite stones and is a beautiful and rare type of jasper that comes from Michigan. It has a pink to red color with grey or white bands and sometimes black specks. It is said to have healing properties for the heart and emotions.

Quartzite is a metamorphic rock that forms when a quartz-rich sandstone is altered by the heat, pressure, and chemical activity of metamorphism. The process of metamorphism can take millions of years, depending on the intensity and duration of the conditions. Quartz crystals, which are the building blocks of quartzite, can also take a long time to form under intense pressure. Quartzite rocks, such as Kona dolomite jasper, are very old and have a complex geological history.
