What is Bumblebee Jasper?

Bumblebee "jasper" is not a true jasper. It is a volcanic rock from near Mount Papandayan in Java, Indonesia, made mainly of calcite and anhydrite, with bright yellow and orange colours reported to come from sulphur and arsenic sulphide minerals such as realgar and orpiment.

Because of these minerals it is best kept as a polished display piece: wash your hands after handling, never put it in water or drinks, and keep it away from children and pets.
