Do you love jasper as much as I do?
Jasper is a variety of quartz found on every continent on earth. 
It is known as the nurturing stone. Because this gorgeous stone contains takes on many impurities during it’s formation, the gem is always opaque. It’s good to note that the impurities are what create the spectacular colors and designs!

Endless varieties of jasper are available today. They are mined across the globe. Moreover, each variety features the design that the impurities helped create. Two of my favorites shown here: Picture Jasper (to the left)tends to be lighter in color and resemble mountain landscapes. Madagascar Jasper (to the right)has richer and more reddish inclusions.
More fascinating facts:
- The Babylonians believed that jasper was a female stone and and a symbol of childbirth.
- Native American cultures used jasper for rain making.
- Metaphysically The stone is said to bring tranquility, comfort and relaxation to our soul.
- Many believe that jasper can align all our chakras.
Lastly I mention my all time favorite jasper.. Red Creek Jasper. My online store currently features 7 designs. I love it so much that I dedicate an entire post to this one variety.
Yes, I do love Jasper. I have a couple of stones in my collection and I love the beautiful patterns in them. I don’t have any Red Creek Jasper though.
Thanks Tami. There are so many different varieties and they are all beautiful
I will hold my hands up and say i didn’t know what Jasper was until right now. It’s os beautiful and your creations are gorgeous. They all ‘feel’ so unique and made with love.
Thanks Sonya for the terrific compliment. Every design IS created with love💕
Jasper sure is pretty – didn’t know of this stone until know. Beautiful pieces of jewelry!
Thanks Teresa. I think many aren’t aware of this amazing stone
My jewelry design friend, made me a beautiful bracelet with turquoise and four kinds of jasper. Although Jasper isn’t a stone I would choose to wear alone, as part of this bracelet, it is stunning. I really gravitate to this bracelet as well, wearing it often, as the energy of the piece has something quite special about it. I love all the benefits you shared, as it sounds like a wonderfully supportive stone. Thanks for sharing your designs and the info, Alene!
I love jasper. The stone is a terrific metaphor for people: its imperfections are what makes it unique. My Picture jasper pendent looks just like a nature scene–so amazing!
I think this stone is gorgeous. I don’t need it for childbirth, but if it helps in relaxation, I’m all in! Thanks for sharing. I just bought some granite for my granddaughter’s bathroom. I love looking at the stone. There is so much beauty in nature.
Jasper really is quite lovely! I find it fascinating that the ancients considered it a female stone. I wonder what it was about it that made them believe that?
great question Jennifer. I don’t know but but research a little further
Now, you made me wonder about jasper. I think I would need to find one for my father. As he is aging, his memory is failing. He has to have quick thinking so if there comes a time he needs it, he is ready.
