The Wonderful World of Gemstones

"Sesame Jasper"

Jasper is an opaque rock of virtually any color stemming from the mineral content of the original sediments or ash. Patterns arise during the consolidation process forming flow and depositional patterns in the original silica rich sediment or volcanic ash. Hydrothermal circulation is generally thought to be required in the formation of jasper.

Jasper can be modified by the diffusion of minerals along discontinuities providing the appearance of vegetative growth, i.e., dendritic. The original materials are often fractured and/or distorted, after deposition, into myriad beautiful patterns which are to be later filled with other colorful minerals. Weathering, with time, will create intensely colored superficial rinds.

Jasper is known as the “supreme nurturer”.  It sustains and supports through times of stress, and brings tranquility and wholeness.  Jasper provides protection and absorbs negative energy.  It balances yin and yang.  Jasper clears electromagnetic and environmental pollution, including radiation.  It encourages honesty with one's self.  Provides courage to assertively tackle problems.  Aids quick-thinking and Jasper stimulates the imagination and transforms ideas into action.    It supports during prolonged illness and re-energises the body.

JASPER stone facilitates shamanic journeys and recalls dreams. Absorbs negative energy's and gives protection, it will cleanses and aligns the charkas and the aura which in turn balances yin and yang. Another stone which is very good for electromagnetic and environmental pollution.

Kiwi Jasper: and "Sesame Jasper"

are interchangeable trade names for a black speckled stone often mixed with translucent crystalline formations. To avoid confusion, we use the term "Kiwi Jasper" to refer to the light green variety of this stone while "Sesame Jasper" better describes the white or lighter colored form of this mineral.

Like all jaspers, sesame jasper is a nurturing stone. It sustains and supports us during times of stress, and brings tranquility and wholeness. Used in healing, it unifies all aspects of your life. Jasper aligns the chakras and absorbs negative energy.

The name Jasper is derived from the Greek word Iaspis, meaning “spotted stone”. Sesame Jasper and Kiwi Jasper are trade names used to describe this lovely Jasper. It truly lives up to Jasper’s “spotty” reputation. This variety of Jasper is a minty green color with spots of black, reminiscent of polka dots.

There has been a lot of debate about this stone as to whether it is true Jasper as it contains a mix of other minerals as well as some Jasper. Kiwi/Sesame Jasper becomes warm when held, with a sense of healing, and the feet become warm too, also felt peaceful and relaxed.

Kiwi/Sesame Jasper is a pale seafoam green color with black & clear crystal spotting effect throughout the stones. It’s a nurturing stone, a good stone for the healers to use on the behalf of others. A good stone for people in counseling or therapy, who want to overcome addictions or compulsive behavior, & gather up their strength for the battles ahead

(emotional). It is a power stone for those who stand for justice & fair play.

Despite its natural color, this is not a soft pillowy kind of energy, but rather incredibly vibrant and stimulating. It raises ones spirit and elevates the mood. This “euphoria” is not the kind that you lose your thought process, but it more attunes you to the natural pulse of love, which of course brings about the shift in attitude, mood and mind. Which in turn helps in balancing the art of giving and receiving. Often we are drawn to one or the other, and have trouble balancing…this Opal will help one to see that both side (like ying & yang) are necessary and both are needed for wholeness.
