Variety of colored jasper stone for healing

History and origin

The history of the stone begins in antiquity. Initially, weapons and tools were made from the green mineral. Later, people understood the magical significance of the stone, and jasper became an attribute of magical practices. The gem was then assessed as decorative. Noticing that it appeared before a downpour, they prayed to the stone during a drought. They were buried in the ground so that the fruit harvest would be plentiful. The ancient Greeks gave the mineral to women in labor, and the Romans made gem amulets from it.

Ornamental varieties formed from volcanic rocks through the transformation of greenschists or marine organisms. Ornamental jasper rock is silicified minerals combined with igneous components.

The name translated means “speckled or mottled stone.” In Rus' it became “jasper” or “aspis”. Other names for the mineral: basanite, jasper agate, German and Swiss lapis, meat agate, tiger stone.

The gem is on the breastplate of the High Priest of Judah and at the foundation of the Heavenly Jerusalem.

From Neanderthals to Faberge

Objects made from jasper were used by our distant ancestors - the Neanderthals. True, they valued it not for its beauty (that was not the case), but for its hardness and ability to form sharp edges on chips. Such stones were used to make hatchets, spearheads, and later arrowheads. So for women, jasper was not that important. In the end, it's a man's job to go and kill a mammoth. But the significance of the stone in the development of civilization is important.

When a person firmly stood on his feet and had some free time, a craving for beauty appeared.

They did not immediately learn to separate stones by types and species. Even Pliny could call malachite emerald, and chalcedony or plasma iaspid (jasper).

In the Middle Ages, green jasper was considered a sacred stone and symbolized the perseverance of faith. The stone was dedicated to the Apostle Peter, who held the keys to heaven. By the way, the name Peter itself translated from Greek means “stone, rock.”

Utensils for church needs were cut from multi-colored rock, and the walls of richer temples were decorated with jasper panels. Often the floor in churches was made of sacred stone - a heretic or wicked person would not walk on such a floor.

Russia should be grateful to Catherine II. It was she who developed stone cutting in the Urals and contributed to the creation of factories and workshops for processing jasper.

Jasper products

At a time when jasper was not called that and was perceived as a simple stone, people used it as spear and arrow tips. Later it became a material for seals, amulets, jewelry, and statues. Nowadays, even non-decorative types are used for the construction of load-bearing walls. Colored jasper is used to clad buildings inside and out, to make columns, obelisks, and tabletops. Jewelers use jasper stones to make inserts for pendants, brooches, earrings, rings, and beads.

The beginning of stone-cutting art is associated with the discovery of jasper deposits in the era of Peter I in Russia. Products from that time are still kept in the Hermitage. These are vases, fireplaces, candelabra, pedestals, caskets and snuff boxes. Craftsmen organically weave the natural pattern of stone into the architecture of the product. At the World Exhibition in London in 1851, vases made of green Ural and Altai minerals aroused the admiration of the jury. Experts noted that such works of art had not been made since the times of the ancient Greeks.

• Mikhail Lomonosov considered jasper one of the most important domestic goods and compared it in value with amber, crystal and pearls.
• Pushkin wore a green jasper bracelet without taking it off as an assistant in his amorous adventures.
• Fireplaces made from Goltsovsky deep blue and grayish-blue jasper create a unique coloring for the interiors of the Moscow Kremlin palaces.
• The “pearl” of the Hermitage jasper collection is “The Queen of Vases” (weight 19 tons, diameter 5 meters). Carved from domestic greenish stone with a ribbon pattern.
• The mineral became the basis for the maces of Khan Amin (encrusted with precious stones) and Bohdan Khmelnitsky.
• Powerful healing energy comes from a Buddha statue in one of the Thai temples. A five-ton block of green jasper was used on it.

• A gift from the Byzantine Emperor Manuel became invaluable for the Athonite monks: a jasper bowl neutralized poisons and healed all diseases.

Application

Many historical references indicate that in ancient times jasper was often used not so much as an ornamental stone, but as a material from which various tools were made. It is impossible to say with certainty that it was green jasper that was used for this, but since this color is one of the most common, it is quite possible. Jasper has great hardness and strength, is widespread and easy to extract. Therefore, ancient people at first were not particularly interested in its ornamental and decorative properties. However, as humanity began to develop and develop aesthetic taste, the gem was looked at from a completely different angle.

Jewelry began to be actively made from green jasper. Subsequently, with the advent of specialists studying the magical and healing properties of stones, the targeted production of amulets and talismans began from stone. But if we consider precisely the function of green jasper as a decorative stone, then another area of ​​​​its application is much more interesting. Perhaps when people read or say “jasper stone,” they imagine very small stones, which at most can be suitable for making a small pendant. It will also not surprise anyone that small boxes or vases can be made from jasper. But already two hundred years ago, the active development of jasper deposits made it possible to extract not just stones, but entire blocks. From such massive pieces of rock it became possible to manufacture equally massive products.

An example of such a product is, for example, the famous Great Kolyvan Vase, which can be viewed in the St. Petersburg Hermitage. An inordinate number of specialists took part in its creation, and in order to transport the vase to St. Petersburg, it was necessary to harness such a team that is even difficult to imagine. The vase was made from Altai green jasper; its image can even be seen on the Altai coat of arms.

The interior of buildings is also covered with gemstones – columns, floors, railings, doors. For example, the doors of one of the jasper rooms of the Tsarskoye Selo Palace are decorated with inlays of green and red gems. The jasper floor can be seen in the Annunciation Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin. And, of course, those properties of green jasper deserve special attention, thanks to which talismans and amulets made from it are in such demand.

The variety of shades and patterns of green jasper amazes the eye.

How to distinguish a fake?

Jasper is a popular, common stone. There is simply no point in making fakes. More often, they try to pass off jasper itself as other minerals, for example, amazonite, turquoise or jade. But rarer specimens are much more expensive, so there is still a chance of buying a fake. To prevent this from happening, it is better to remember a few important points:

• patterns of natural jasper with clear contours, while a fake may be slightly blurred;
• if dropped repeatedly on the floor, a linden stone, often made of acrylic, glass or plastic, will certainly be damaged, but a nugget will never;
• by heating the stone over low heat, you can catch a fake - a natural mineral is not afraid of such an experiment, and the fake will immediately “float”;
• if you hold the product in your fist for 20 minutes, you will understand whether it is linden or not - natural jasper does not heat up to body temperature, remaining just as cold;
• The ratio of weight and size is also worth paying attention to - even a small piece of natural jasper is heavy, which cannot be said about a glass or plastic prototype.

Important!

It’s better not to buy jewelry from dubious online stores, especially with prepayment. This purchase can be very disappointing. It would be more correct to turn to trusted jewelry stores, where complete information about the products is provided.

How to properly care for jasper

If you follow all the rules, the stone will delight you with its beauty for a long time. This mineral, unlike many others, does not fade, so natural colors and patterns will last a lifetime.

Jasper is the history of the Earth. It contains the remains of ancient radiolarians and sponges that lived millions of years ago. This is the result of long and complex processes in the depths of the planet, tectonic movements that pushed veins of multi-colored minerals to the surface. Looking at it, a person realizes the greatness, power and beauty of nature.
