![]() ![]() In the early civilizations of ancient Mesopotamia, Red and Green Jasper were once hot commodities! And our Ocean Jasper brings you waves of wisdom and tranquil vibrations, as it is fittingly named the stunningly elegant “Atlantis Stone”-a talisman of knowledge and serenity. Our polychrome Jasper should remind you of scenes of the sea, where the sand meets the shore. The lines and patterns of Jasper rift to form a picture that sometimes resemble a landscape that dips and peaks with mountains and valleys. You may find with the Jasper stone that each piece is detailed and unique due to organic material contained inside, which often oxidizes during formation to complete interesting arrangements. Polished Jasper was favored by the people in ancient civilizations and can be found referenced throughout Latin literature. The meaning of Jasper derives from the Old French “jaspre” or Latin “iaspidem”-which translates all the way back to its ancient Greek, Hebrew or Akkadian origins. The etymology, or Jasper meaning, is “spotted or speckled stone” since Jasper sometimes contains spots of sediment, ash or mineral material. If none of the above rings a bell, you may be among the general population who know Jasper as an October (Virgo) stone or the traditional birthstone of March with the bloodstone.
