Jasper description

Mineral class: oxides, quartz group. Chemical formula: SiO2 + Fe, O,OH, Si.

Jasper is a very common opaque and compact stone, belonging to the quartz family, which presents different colors (from red to green, yellow, and brown) depending on the inclusions of different foreign substances.

It is of secondary origin and derives from the deposition of silica directly from waters in clay or sandy rocks. During the progressive transformation into quartz, the fine particles of clay and sand remain trapped in the forming jasper, causing its opacity and the surface patterns that characterize it.It can also have an organic origin due to the accumulation of radiolarians or sponges. The oldest deposits, according to Pliny the Elder, were found in Ethiopia, Cyprus, and India; today the most important are in Brazil, Australia, and India. In Italy, jasper is found in Tyrol, Tuscany, and Liguria.The most common varieties are yellow and sand-brown, green, and red: the first is produced by the presence of iron oxide in a divalent form (Fe2+), the red one in a trivalent form (Fe3+), while the green one comes from inclusions of iron silicate compounds.

Element

Depending on the color, jasper can be associated with various elements (Fire: red; Earth: green, yellow, and brown) and their respective characteristics related to energy and strength, prosperity, fertility, and well-being.

Mythology

The name jasper is of Persian origin and in antiquity referred to what we now call quartz. The first to use jasper, in its different varieties, were the Hittites and, later, the Egyptians, Phoenicians, Etruscans, and Chinese, who included it among the Yu stones, that is, "sacred stones".

In the Middle Ages, Hildegard von Bingen gives the following description of the formation of jasper in her treatise Physica: "Jasper grows when the sun, after the ninth hour, turns towards sunset. It is heated by the sun's heat, however, it is more air than water or fire".According to the Benedictine nun, it is a remedy for heartache and troubled dreams: for heartache, the cold stone should be placed on the chest until the body's heat warms it up (the procedure should be repeated until you feel better); for troubled dreams, however, you should keep the stone next to you while you sleep, its influences bring serenity to sleep.

In ancient times, jasper was attributed the virtue of neutralizing any type of spell. The Native Americans used it in rituals to make it rain, hence the name "rain bearer".The ancient Egyptians considered blood jasper the emblem of the blood of the goddess Isis and various types were used as an amulet in the form of a scarabIn the Middle Ages it was considered the stone of warriors: in this regard, in the Nibelungen saga it is told that a jasper was embedded in the hilt of Siegfried's sword.
