Tumbled Fancy Jasper #FJ
The word "jasper" comes from the Greek word iaspi meaning "spotted stone," and it is related to the Hebrew yashpeh and the ancient Assyrian word ashpu. Jasper was worn in antiquity by Priests in Egyptian and Hebrew cultures. The Ancient Egyptians would also bury mummies with Jasper talismans to protect them on their journey to the afterlife. In some Native American tribes Jasper was used to dowse for water. A variant of Jasper, Fancy Jasper is a powerful grounding stone known as the "supreme nurturer" - bringing a sense of wholeness and contentment. Fancy Jasper can be used to enhance endurance and resilience, bringing a sense of well-being and relieving guilt, fear, and frustration. It is especially helpful in times of stress. Jaspers in general symbolize the various landforms we see on Earth, and all the grounding and balancing that implies. Size and color may vary. This listing is for one piece. Crystal #FJ
