Gifts for Her–Jasper and Handmade

Jasper

Considered the stone of tenderness, jasper enhances relaxation, healing, integrity, peace and comfort to the wearer. It is filled with protective energy and is used for nurturing.

Jasper is said to increase clarity and mental balance, as well as grace and beauty.

Jasper is certainly beautiful with its wide palette of colors and patterns. This stone is one of my favorites; although, I could not tell you which variation is my favorite since they are all delightful in their uniqueness.

It is found around the world, and one of the things I didn't get to do while in Montana was pull some from the mountain streams.

Because of its amazing arrays of colors and patterns, this gemstone is easily paired with any color combination when designing jewelry.

Jasper is mentioned in the Bible as one of the breastplate stones used by the high priests and is the stone of the Benjamin tribe. It is even mentioned in the book of Revelation as a very precious jewel.

Native Americans consider it a rainmaker and is used today as a dowser.

Every jasper variation has its own metaphysical properties, so each should be considered if you are using them for healing or in chakra jewelry.

I just know that I love the colors and patterns, and that jasper makes a great accent bead in my jewelry.
