It may be worth noting that "snakeskin jasper" or "Schlangen[haut]jaspis" is a much more common term.

Snakeskin Jasper is a natural gemstone from Mongolia - so called because of its snake-like markings.

Reference:

Schlangenjaspis

or snake jaspers: Kind of an "esoteric trade name" which refers to the texture of (small) polished pieces of silicified mudstone rich in (small) seashells and other (micro-)fossils (and not to the shape of a necklace).
