Polished Fancy Jasper Gemstone Generator

A polished Fancy Jasper Generator, weighing approx. 64 grams and measuring approx. 95 x 25 x 23 mm.

What a lovely generator this is.  It has a slightly tapered shape, being wider at the base and narrower as it moves towards the apex. The colouring is predominantly a light bluish grey colouring with strong hints of reddish brown appearing across the surface.

Jasper is usually considered as Chalcedony;  sometimes, however, scientists put it in a group by itself within the Quartz group because of its grainy structure. 

The name Jasper is derived from the Greek and means "spotted stone". 

The finely grained, dense Jasper contains up to 20 percent foreign materials, which determine its colour, streak, and appearance. Uniformly colored Jasper is rare, usually it is multicolored, striped, or flamed. Sometimes Jasper can be grown together with Agate or Opal. There is also some fossilized material.

Jaspers are strongly aligned with the Earth and the environment. They are nurturing crystals and have been used as stones of Protection since ancient times.

A detailed information card will accompany this crystal, listing the Healing/Metaphysical properties attributed to both this style of crystal and Jasper.
