The Spiritual Significance of Polychrome Jasper

Polychrome jasper, also called desert jasper, is a richly patterned stone of swirling earth tones: reds, golds, browns, and greens layered together like a desert landscape. A relative newcomer to the crystal world, found in Madagascar, it is valued in crystal tradition as a grounding, vitalizing stone, reached for to steady the spirit, spark creativity, and call up a sense of energy and movement. Its colors are entirely natural, the work of iron and other minerals in the stone.
