Jasper

Jasper, solid as a Rock. Jaspers are extremely solid crystals that are made of a variety of densely-packed quartz micro-crystals. The combination of different minerals gives it its opaque look and is the reason why it comes in so many different colours, from red and brown, yellow and green to blue and purple.

Being an elemental Earths stone, its vibrations are in tune with the Earth’s electromagnetic energies. Jaspers are powerful grounding rocks that can help you to ground into the earth’s energy and also to gain physical and emotional strength. It is very soothing and stabilizing at the same time. Jasper will also allow you to see good in others.

Jasper has already adorned people in ancient civilization around the world. Especially kings, priests, shamans and healers wore them as talismans, to protect themselves from any harm in the physical and the spiritual world.

When worn or used during meditation, jasper can help you heal creative blocks by freeing you from negative thoughts and lack of enthusiasm. It said that jasper also strengthens your spiritual awareness and the understanding that all life in nature is connected to each other. The earthy colours and appearance of jasper are a reflection of the natural landscapes on earth. To connect on a higher level with its grounding and earthing energy, use jasper when meditating outside or when you walk barefoot.

All Jasper colour variations are linked to the root chakra, which anchors us to the earth and keeps us stable. Depending on its colour variation, jasper can have a slightly different meaning and it can also be associated to other chakras. Nevertheless, no matter the colour tones, all share the same basic meaning and all are strong grounding and earthy stones that encourage us to connect to nature at a deeper level.
