The authors of the Bible write their great city of heaven is reputed to have jasper
walls.
This opaque type of chalcedony is
found on every continent on this planet, often with striated bands in exquisite
shades of brown, yellow, green, and red.
Ground up into powder and added to potions, jasper has been an
ingredient in healing elixirs for thousands of years. It has gradual encouraging effects that can work
over a long period of time. Jasper is a
patient rock, but it does good work. It
is an energy crystal as well as a stone of sensuality that engenders immense
ardor.
Jasper
was also favored by the ancients as a cure for snakebite and for controlling
the weather as a bringer of rain. In Lithica, a fourth-century epic poem,
this stone is praised:
The gods propitious hearde to his prayers,
who’ever the polished glad-green Jasper wears;
His parsed glebe they’ll saturate with rain,
and send for shower to soak the thirsty plain.
Jasper was also believed to be able to repel evil spirits.
