Jasper is made up of such small crystals that they cannot be seen, so we call them Microcrystalline. They form with a wide variety of colours and patterns, giving us a wonderful range for many uses. These stones each have their own properties added to the general meaning of Jaspers, so I will mention a few of the basic associations. They meant to stimulate an elegant strength, rooting us into the Earth so we can grow like a tree & reach for our goals. Jaspers ask us to go inside ourselves and speak to the part of us that knows there is a greater meaning to all of this than we have been led to believe. Jasper says, "I am here to help you see beyond what you have been taught is 'reality'. I will awaken your knowledge of the Earth and Stars, because all of the answers are inside you and everything is possible.” :)
