Large African Tumble Stones - Light Jasper - Brecciated

Overview of Jasper Crystals
Jasper is a type of microcrystalline quartz, often displaying a wide range of earthy colors, patterns, and markings. These unique patterns arise from the inclusion of minerals, ash, or sediment within the crystal structure, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind.

This captivating crystal belongs to the hexagonal crystal system and usually has a Mohs hardness ranging from 6.5 to 7, making it a resilient and durable stone for various uses.

The fascinating history of Jasper crystals spans numerous cultures, ages, and even the Latin language. Its name comes from ‘iaspidem’ in Latin and ‘jaspre’ in Old French, both of which mean spotted or speckled stone.

It’s worth noting that Jasper constitutes about 12% of Earth’s crust. You wouldn’t believe it, but the formation of these crystals is closely bound to the shifting of the Earth’s plates.

As these plates create deep cracks, aqueous voids form, eventually filling up with Jasper over time. Some varieties, such as Brecciated Jasper, come into existence when the Earth shifts again and immense pressure is exerted on the stone.

Throughout the ages, different cultures have held Jasper in high regard. Ancient kings and magi who believed in the gemstone’s powerful metaphysical properties and healing energies cherished it.

Among its numerous benefits, Jasper is said to symbolize tranquillity, offering a sense of peace and comfort to the wearer.

Jasper stones can be found all around the world; however, most specimens are known to be from India and Australia.

Diving deep into the lore of this fantastic gemstone reveals an intriguing history filled with legends, beliefs, and appreciation for its beauty and uniqueness.
