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.

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

The appearance and durability of the stone product depends on this.

Store stones wrapped in cloth, separately from other jewelry.
Not exposed to cosmetics, household chemicals, abrasives, perfumes.
They don't hit.
You can clean it yourself, without using special products. To do this, you will need a weak vinegar solution and a soft sponge. Rub without force, just slightly wetting. Then rinse and wipe dry.

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. The magical properties of the stone are appreciated by magicians and esotericists, and its healing properties are used in lithotherapy. This is knowledge that has come down from the depths of time, the power of stone tested by many generations of people.
