He pōhaku ʻālohilohi a wiwo ʻole ka Yellow Jasper i hopu i ka manaʻo o nā kānaka no nā kenekulia. Me kona mau ʻōniʻoniʻo o ka melemele, ka ʻalani, a me ka ʻulaʻula, ʻaʻole ia he mea kupanaha ka mahalo ʻia ʻana o kēia pōhaku makamae no kona nani a me nā mea ho'ōla. He aha ka iasepi melemele, a no hea mai ia? Ma kēia pou moʻomanaʻo, e ʻimi mākou i ka mōʻaukala geologic o ka jasper melemele, me kāna aʻo, nā waiwai, a me nā hanana.
ʻO iasepi melemele he ʻano kalasedona, ʻano ʻano quartz ʻike ʻia no kona ʻano microcrystalline a me ka luster waxy. He mea maʻamau ka Chalcedony o nā ʻano pōhaku like ʻole, e like me nā pōhaku sedimentary, metamorphic, a me nā pōhaku igneous. ʻO ka iasepi melemele, ʻo ia hoʻi, loaʻa maʻamau i nā pōhaku sedimentary, e like me nā one a me nā shales.
ʻO ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka iasepi melemele he kaʻina hana paʻakikī e pili ana i ka ua o nā wai waiwai silica i loko o nā pōhaku sedimentary. Hiki ke hele mai kēia mau wai mai nā kumu like ʻole, me ka lehu pele a me nā pūnāwai wela. Ke maʻalili a paʻakikī ka wai, hoʻomaka lākou e hana i nā hale crystalline, e ulu aʻe i loko o nā pōhaku makamae a mākou i ʻike ai ʻo iasepi melemele.
ʻIke ʻia ʻo iasepi melemele no kāna mau kala ʻālohilohi a wiwo ʻole, ka mea i loaʻa ma muli o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka hao hao (hematite) i loko o ka pōhaku. Hiki ke ʻokoʻa ka nui a me ka hāʻawi ʻana o ka hematite i loko o ka pōhaku makamae, ka hopena o nā kala mai ka melemele pale a i ka ʻalani hohonu a me ka ʻulaʻula. ʻIke ʻia hoʻi ʻo iasepi melemele no kāna mau kāʻei or nā hiʻohiʻona ʻōniʻoniʻo, i hana ʻia e nā ʻano like ʻole o ka neʻe ʻana o ka hematite i loko o ka pōhaku makamae.
Loaʻa ka iasepi melemele ma nā wahi like ʻole a puni ka honua, me ka ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, Palakila, India, a me Kina. Ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻike pinepine ʻia ʻo iasepi melemele ma ke komohana hema, kahi i ʻeli pinepine ʻia no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea nani a me nā mea hoʻonaninani ʻē aʻe. Ma Brazil, ʻike pinepine ʻia ka iasepi melemele ma ke ʻano o ʻula, he ʻano chalcedony me nā ʻano huikau.
Ma waho aʻe o kona nani, mahalo ʻia ka jasper melemele no kāna mau mea ho'ōla. Manaʻo ka poʻe he hiki i ka jasper melemele ke hoʻoikaika i ka ho'ōla kino a me ka naʻau, a me ka hoʻonui i ka ikehu a me ka ikaika. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia i nā hana hoʻōla aniani a manaʻo ʻia e kōkua i nā pilikia e pili ana i ka chakra plexus solar, e like me ka hilinaʻi ponoʻī a me ka mana pilikino.
I ka hopena, ʻo iasepi melemele he pōhaku makamae a wiwo ʻole me ka mōʻaukala geologic hoihoi. Mai kona hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana i loko o nā pōhaku sedimentary a i kona mau waihoʻoluʻu a me nā mea ho'ōla, ʻo iasepi melemele kahi pōhaku makamae e hoʻomau nei i ka hoʻopio ʻana i nā poʻe a puni ka honua. Inā paha e huki ʻia ʻoe i kona nani a i ʻole kona mau mea ho'ōla, ʻo iasepi melemele kahi pōhaku makamae e hoʻomālamalama i kēlā me kēia ʻohi.
