Red Picasso Jasper, with similar stones also known as Red Net Jasper, is a popular stone which is known for its striking line inclusions which often resemble abstract art like that of famed painter Pablo Picasso. In general Picasso Jasper can appear in many colors, with predominantly black, white, or grey varieties being common. The main body of Red Picasso Jasper is generally various shades of white or cream, however it can occasionally include slight hints of other hues such as grey. The inclusions are composed of red, burgundy or orange lines, but spots or other large inclusions can sometimes appear. Red Picasso Jasper is harder to find than many other forms of Jasper and is highly sought after. Most stones called Picasso Jasper are not considered true Jaspers by geologists, but are often composed of metamorphic limestone which ends up with physical and aesthetic properties similar to Jasper.

Jasper is an aggregate form of microgranular quartz crystal and chalcedony with up to 20% of the stone being composed of varying mineral inclusions. Jasper is generally mostly opaque and can appear in almost any color, but is most commonly found in red, yellow, brown, green or occasionally blue. Jasper can feature a wide range of colors with respect to its inclusions as well, with the secondary minerals found within it determining the color.
