Highly polished semi-precious stones that are smooth to the touch. Earth stones are easy to carry in pockets and bags and a great way to appreciate the natural beauty of gemstones. Ideal for collecting, gifting, or jewellery making. Promote these as worry stones for a thoughtful little gift to share with both men and women.

Jasper is an opaque, impure variety of silica in the form of chalcedony or microcrystalline chert. It forms near volcanic activity and the circulation of hot water is required for its formation. In this case, the surrounding limestone was ÒcookedÓ by the introduction of igneous material which flooded the stone with solutions that traveled through a network of fractures.

As a healing stone it is grounding and calming. It can be used to begin a meditation, using the network of lines to accept that the path of transformation is often winding, with many pathways to choose from, but that we always get where we need to be. Some use this stone to attract like-minded people who are likely to become loyal and trusted friends. Picasso marble is also helpful for weight loss, engendering strength and self-discipline.
