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.

How To Use Polychrome Jasper

Frequently Asked Questions

What is polychrome jasper used for?

Polychrome jasper, or desert jasper, is a grounding and vitalizing stone. It is reached for to steady the spirit, spark creativity, and call up a sense of energy and movement in meditation and altar work.

Why is one side polished and one raw?

The polished side gives a smooth, glossy face that shows off the stone's swirling colors and feels good in the hand, while the raw side keeps its natural texture. It is a popular finish that offers the best of both.

Will my slices look like the photo?

Each slice is cut from natural stone, so the exact colors and patterns vary from piece to piece. Your set of two will share the same desert-toned character while being uniquely its own.

Are the colors natural?

Yes. Polychrome jasper's reds, golds, and greens come naturally from iron and other minerals in the stone. No dye is needed to achieve its rich, earthy palette.

How do I cleanse them?

Pass them through cleansing smoke or rest them in the moonlight. Jasper is durable and easy to care for, needing only an occasional cleanse to stay ready for work.
