HISTORICAL OVERVIEW
Jasper has been revered since antiquity as a stone of strength, stability, and protection. Ancient Egyptians used Red Jasper in amulets and talismans, while Ocean Jasper from Madagascar is linked to the mystical “Atlantis Stone.” Kambaba Jasper, formed from fossilized algae over 3 billion years ago, connects to Earth’s earliest life. Picture Jasper, with its natural landscape patterns, was treasured by cultures for spiritual visions and grounding.
