 |quote=The JasPer software is named, in part, after Jasper National Park.  [...] 'jasper' is also the name of an opaque cryptocrystalline variety of quartz used for ornamentation or as a gemstone - hence, the implication that the software is precious (i.e., like a gemstone). Lastly, the name "jasper" [...] contains a letter "J" followed subsequently by a letter "P", not unlike the abbreviation "JP" that is associated with the JPEG-2000 standard.
