Have you read any estimates about the abrasive concentration of Jasper? Arkansas stones are almost 100% silica which means basically the stone is just a gigantic block of abrasive. I don’t know of a good information source about the abrasive Content of jasper. Another example would be Coticule stones. Those come in at somewhere between 35% to 42% abrasive concentration according to Ardennes (the quarry source).

Micro-crystalline quartz/silica. I would say mine is 90% pure at least. Very similar to my surgical Black Arkansas in results. In use it is even harder and denser but maybe not quite as fine. So it gets to scary sharp quicker but even less room for error. Coticules and bbw are garnets which is a much different behaving abrasive particle than silica.

As soon as I started talking she thought I was talking to her so she jumped up in my lap to let me know she was listening. LOL
