Jasper or opal (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gem

'jasper or opal' is the definition.
(I know that jasper is a type of opaque gem)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gem that I've seen before include "Diamond, ruby, or emerald" , "Half of 7 [SIGN OF THE ZODIAC]" , "perfect specimen" , "Treasured person" , "Emerald or sapphire, say" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
