By Wolfspirit
Hey SL, Does anyone know anything
about Jasper? I would be interested to hear the purpose/meaning
of this stone!

Jasper and
its properties
Physical properties of jasper:
Jasper is a member of the chalcedony family, part of the quartz
group. It is found in a wide variety of shades of red, yellow,
green, and brown. Mixtures of two or more colors are also sometimes
seen. Jasper has a hardness of 6 1/2 - 7 on the Mohs' scale,
and a specific gravity of 2.58 - 2.91.
Metaphysical
properties of jasper:
... (see Note on Properties)
Jasper's energies are subtle, and work slowly over time. This
quality insures that you will not be over stimulated by jasper.
Because of this, it is suggested that jasper be worn or carried
for long periods of time. Many people carry or wear jasper all
the time. All colors of jasper are said to unify and balance
all aspects of your life. Its subtle energies can help restore
a continuity of spirit and body that can improve both work and
play. Jasper is said to aid quickness of thought, allowing your
mind to function with less distractions and aiding clearness
of thought. It is also said to help dispel negative energies
and reduce stress. These qualities make jasper an excellent
choice for executives and others in the business world.
The different
colors of jasper also are said to have specific qualities of
their own:
Brown Jasper is attuned to the energies of the Earth. This quality
can help you find stability and balance. It is said to help
your body cleanse itself from the negative effects of environmental
pollutants and other toxins. This cleansing effect is said to
improve the skin and also stimulate the cleansing organs such
as the liver and kidneys. Wearing this color jasper can also
help you become more in tune with the Earth. This quality can
lead to greater environmental awareness and help remind you
to strive to lower the amount of pollution you generate. This
quality of brown jasper makes it a good choice for those wishing
to quit smoking. Brown jasper is said to retain memories of
the past, making it an excellent choice for those wishing to
relive past events through regression or analysis. By reliving
these events, the negative energies associated with them can
be dispelled, allowing you to overcome them and move forward
with your life.
Green Jasper
is said to help balance the factors in your life. Its subtle
energies allow you to stop concentrating on one aspect of life
at the expense of the others. It can serve to remind you that
the whole is a result of all of the parts. Green jasper is especially
beneficial to the heart and upper torso, the digestive tract,
and the cleansing organs. Its energies work slowly, over time
to help restore harmony to these areas.
Red Jasper
is closely tied to the blood and circulatory system. Its gentle
energies are said to aid in detoxifying the blood and liver.
Its subtle energies are stimulating, and an excellent aid to
overall health. Red jasper is also thought to increase awareness
of problems, allowing you to take action before these problem
become a real threat.
Yellow Jasper
is said to be helpful to the endocrine glands and the cleansing
organs. It can make you feel more energetic, stronger, and in
better physical condition. Yellow jasper is said to amplify
positive energies, and this can help your thoughts assume a
more positive light. Thoughts can and do have a dramatic effect
on your overall physical and mental well-being.
Jasper and
synergy:
Jasper, and especially red jasper, is a good choice for those
born during the The Moon of Growth - (20 Apr - 20 May.) Those
born during the moon of growth often find themselves in situations
of rapid change, and jasper's grounding and balancing abilities
can help them cope with these influences. Jasper can also help
those born during this period see all sides of an issue, often
helping them take the appropriate action before a minor problem
becomes a major one. Jasper is a good stone for those born under
the zodiac sign of Taurus.
Lotus:
Hi
Wolfie, I like working with Jasper, as a matter of fact one
of my last creations was made from Picture Jasper. SEDD has
shared some wonderful information on Jasper and if I may, I
would like to add a little more ...In addition to the properties
common to Jasper that SEDD has shared, there are specific types
of Jasper stones that possesses further qualities: Arizona Lizard

8 Colors range from light to dark green and this stone is used
to promote healing on all levels. Healers often use this stone
to assist in the release of causes of dis-ease. It's also a
great stone for the removal of energy blockages. Bat Cave Jasper

colorings ranging from a deep chocolate Brown to a lighter shade
of brown/tan. It can be used to facilitate a very deep state
of meditation and to assist one in the attainment of centering
"self." It is often used by those who enjoy astral
plane travel. It is said, Bat Cave Jasper enhances night vision.
Bruneau
Jasper - Astrological Sign: Gemini Vibrates to the number 7
Bruneau Jasper occurs in a variety of color combinations of
browns and ivory. The structure of this particular Jasper stone
exhibits a smooth flowing circular or oval pattern resembling
an eye or an infinite passageway to beyond reality. It's very
neat to spend time just gazing at the stone. It allows one to
"inter-connect" with all worlds especially during
astral travel. This is a great stone to help enhance your expressiveness
and to bring balance to those erratic emotional states.
Picture

this stone and its wonderful color combinations. This is a mystical
looking stone that exhibits hidden messages and/or pictures

this would be an excellent stone to have. Picture Jasper from
the vicinity of Biggs, Oregon is one of the most beautiful picture
jaspers providing scenes from the Earth and is known as the
stone for "Global Awareness." It emits an energy which
promotes the spiritual affinity to achieve a perfect accord
between humanity and nature. There is also an unusual form of
"Biggs" Jasper known as "Biggs Blue" that
has an added property which promotes understanding of the actual
advanced technology of ancient civilizations. I have never seen
this particular stone but it sounds magnificent. Picture Jasper
helps bring hidden thoughts, griefs, fears and hopes to the
surface so that one may face the cause of disorders.

good stone for meditation, can help rectify unpleasant situations
and can facilitate the reiteration of dreams to help the dreamer
