About Jaspillite
A siliceous or metamorphosed banded ironstone, including iron-rich quartzites, interbedded jasper and iron oxides. They are usually banded mixtures of quartz and magnetite and/or hematite. They constitute many low grade iron ore deposits, collectively forming the largest accumulations of iron on the Earth (hundreds of megatons and more).
Also a trade name for red, hematitized varieties of jasper.
