Japanese: 赤玉石 - あかだまいし
Red jade stone
Also known as Akadama. A red jasper, it is a blood-red color caused by impure chalcedony and large amounts of iron oxide in massive quartz. It is prized as a garden stone, ornamental stone, and precious stone. The best quality comes from Iwakubi in Sado (Sado City), but it is also found in Imakane, Hokkaido, Toi, Shizuoka Prefecture, Fukumitsu, Toyama Prefecture, and other places.
