Primary Information
Jasper has been linked to all ancient peoples and civilizations throughout history. It was regarded sacred and a potent protective stone for both the physical and spiritual realms and was worn by shamans, priests, and monarchs. Egyptians etched symbols and inscriptions from the Book of the Dead into amulets of jasper and buried them with mummified bodies for safe passage to the afterlife. It was widely used to engrave cylinder seals, signet rings, and special talismans displaying astrological and religious symbols in numerous cultures.
It was the twelfth stone in the Jewish High Priest’s Breastplate, and the apostle Peter is said to have gotten his name from Jasper, the rock Christ would build his church on. Jasper was known as “the rain bringer” in medieval times and was prized as a dowsing stone by Native Americans.
