When the first two Ocean Jasper veins were exhausted in 2006, miners began exploring Madagascar further inland to find more. They discovered an entirely new jasper instead. Called Jaspe Imprime in Madagascar, it is better known as polychrome jasper or desert jasper in English speaking countries. Pieces are typically covered with warm colors, earth tones, and the occasional green, blue, or purple.

According to Scandinavian legend, the pommel of Siegfried's sword which was known as a dragon killer had inlays of jasper as a symbol of courage.

Care information

Most gemstones can be cleaned with water and mild detergent. Use a soft cloth or soft brush such as a baby brush or toothbrush with soft bristles to scrub them if necessary. Avoid scrubbing too hard and scratching the stone. Rinse and dry the stone with a soft, lint-free cloth. To add shine we suggest using a food grade silicone spray and buffing with a lint free cloth.

All of our gems and crystals are natural stone and may therefore have imperfections, blemishes, and variations. Please examine the product pictures carefully before making your purchase. Crystals and gems are in no way guaranteed to help, promote, heal, or cure any ailment either physical, mental, or spiritual. Healing powers listed are strictly anecdotal.
