Jasper

Jasper is one of the crystals mentioned in the Old Testament as forming part of Aaron’s Breastplate, a channel of divine energies - Urim / light, and Thummim / truth - that allowed direct visual communication with God.

Blue jasper is called the warrior stone. It can encourage recovery from various traumas, and help embolden people to speak out against injustices, risk going against popular thought systems, and protecting the vulnerable. This stone is connected to spiritual nobility and purpose, and telling the truth with kindness.

Green jasper has been used since ancient times, having been found dating back to 4-5th millennium BC in one of the most important archaeological sites, Mehrgarh, Pakistan. It has been a part of fertility ceremonies and rituals in Europe and Africa. It can represent the time a dream will be conceived and begin to grow. The stone can also assist with acknowledging emotions.
