| Description |
| Jasper, an aggregate of microgranular quartz and/or chalcedony and other mineral phases is an opaque, impure variety of silica, usually red, yellow, brown or green in color; and rarely blue. Picture jasper is a type of jasper that has great bands of different colors. It is mined in the Owyhee Mountains on the border of Idaho and Oregon. The swirling patters and banding of Picture Jasper are said to be images of the past that Mother Earth is sharing with us. It is grounding and a harmonizing stone with a strong connection to the earth. It helps us to understand our past fears and allow us to see the bigger picture so that we may grow and move forward with courage. Be sure to take Picture Jasper with you when traveling abroad as it helps you to gain a better understanding of other cultures. Mohs Hardness: 6.5-7 |
