Is this Jasper?

I have a rock that I cut in half and need info on please. I have asked once before when it was completely raw, without any work done to it. It is Jasper with purple Agate? The pattern on it is puzzling. Thank you for any help

Looks like a brecciated jasper. Not sure on the purple part, but it's pretty none the less. 

Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

Where is it from? It sort of looks like some of brecciated jasp agate from the Franciscan Complex in central and northern California. Compare to Stone Canyon jasper.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.
