What is Guinea Fowl Jasper?
Guinea Fowl Jasper, also known as Speckle Fossil Stone or Guinea Fowl Stone, what we call an Honorary Jasper-- that is, a stone that does not technically meet the mineralogical requirements to be a Jasper, but is popularly referred to as one so often that the moniker sticks. Although some may attribute the grey-brown to almost-black tones of Guinea Fowl Stone to the presence of Tourmaline, this is not the case in any of the specimens we've ever come across. Rather, Guinea Fowl Stone is a type of Fossil Stone in which pieces of shell mixed with sediment and fossilized microbial mats became silicified over millions of years, resulting in a flecked, speckled appearance that is never quite the same from stone to stone!
