Mushroom Jasper is a picturesque material containing gray and brown orbs that resemble mushrooms and are scattered throughout a brick red background.  Originally named a jasper it was later determined to be a highly silicated rhyolite (volcanic rock) found in Arizona.  It makes delightful scenes for cabs and will take a good polish.
