Bumble Bee Jasper is a soft stone, with a Mohs of 5 and below. This porous rock is easy to cut and polish. This stone is a combination of volcanic matter, Anhydrite, Hematite, Sulfur, and Arsenic.
The lovely patterns on this stone are very similar to what you will find on a Bumble Bee insect, hence the name. The yellow color in this stone is due to Sulfur, which is toxic, as well as arsenic so please wash your hands after handling.
