Known as the "Supreme Nurturer", Jasper is a stone of grounding and stability, providing comfort and security, strength and healing. It's presence balances the aura to a level of wholeness and peace, and acts as a reminder that one is not here on the physical plane simply for oneself, but to bring joy and substance to others. Historically, Jasper is traceable to all ancient peoples and civilizations. Worn by Shamans, Priests and Kings, it was considered sacred and a powerful protection stone for both the physical world and in the spiritual realm. Amulets of Jasper were carved by the Egyptians with symbols and inscriptions from the "Book of the Dead", and buried with mummified remains for safe passage in the after life. Found throughout the world in ancient Sea beds.
