Jasper — The Supreme Nurturer
Jasper, known as the "Supreme Nurturer", is an opaque variety of chalcedony found in warm earthy tones all over the world. Where some stones bring intense bursts of energy, Jasper works slowly and steadily — traditionally associated with nurturing support, emotional stability, endurance, and quiet strength through long challenges.
