The incredible thing about jasper is that it comes in many finishes. Some have been identified very recently. All varieties have many colors with different properties, virtues, and various associated astrological signs.

Jasper can have several aspects. It is a sedimentary rock containing 80 to 95% silica. Jasper is a variety of microcrystalline quartz and may also contain clay, calcite, pyrolusite or hematite.

It has a nodular appearance or sometimes serves as a filling in cracks. It can be found all over the world and in all colors. It also has all kinds of patterns, spotted or ribboned. It is a mineral that has undergone numerous transformations, sometimes classified as mineral, sometimes as rock depending on its degree of impurities.

Its particularity remains the infinite extent of its aspects, all different from each other. The jasper gives the impression that Mother Nature had fun drawing on these stones. Jasper is a complicated stone to identify due to its diverse appearances. Its colors range from green to yellow, red to white, blue to black, brown to gray, etc.

The properties of jasper differ depending on its additives (manganese, alumina, iron hydroxide) and its inclusions (agate or opal). Jasper mainly owes its colors to the iron oxides present. This diversity of colors and shapes makes each jasper stone unique. Jaspers are named according to the regions where they are mined, according to the person who discovered them, according to their color, according to the patterns.

The name “jasper” comes from the Greek “iaspis” meaning spotted stone. Jasper has been known for millennia. In the Bible, it is the first stone of the walls of Jerusalem. It is known to act against spider and snake bites. Since Antiquity, this stone has been used as a protective stone, a lucky charm and promoting the smooth progress of a pregnancy. Jasper amulets were carved by the Egyptians and placed with the mummies to promote the success of their passage into the afterlife.

Many civilizations used this stone to engrave cylindrical seals, talismans with astrological or religious images. Furthermore, for Native Americans and in the Middle Ages, jasper was believed to have the ability to make rain fall.

In conclusion, jasper is a stone widely exploited throughout history. It is found in ornamental stone, jewelry, vases, mosaics, etc.

The main deposits of Bumblebee Jasper are in Indonesia.

There are no legends or myths attached to this stone. In fact, bumblebee jasper was only identified and recorded in the 1990s. At that time, a local miner sent a sample of this stone to the mineral fair in Arizona. This was the beginning of the recognition of Bumblebee Jasper.

Bumblebee jasper is actually both jasper and agate, or more curiously, neither. Indeed, these two groups of minerals do not really correspond to the bumblebee stone. In the absence of a category suitable for this stone, we prefer the name “bumblebee jasper”.

However, the term “jasper” is surprising, because this stone does not contain silica, quartz or moganite in its constitution. But it is still a sedimentary rock with a creation process identical to that of jasper.

Bumblebee jasper gets its name from the presence of alternating wavy bands of yellow, orange and black. It evokes the colors of the bumblebee, or “bumblebee” in English. Indeed, the term bumblebee jasper is hardly used on the internet, so the name “bumblebee jasper” will be retained.

Bumblebee jasper is mainly composed of layers of volcanic ash and therefore contains gypsum, angelite, orpiment, arsenic sulfide and hematite. These layers of volcanic ash are alternated with different layers of sulfur.

Its beautiful yellow color is due to the significant presence of sulfur. In its raw state, it is therefore strongly recommended to handle this stone with gloves due to its toxicity. On the other hand, when this stone is polished, it no longer presents any danger and can be used as jewelry. However, if you break your stone, do not try to repair it. It also contains arsenic and can be very dangerous. Put on gloves and throw it away.

Bumblebee jasper is found only in volcanoes on the island of Java in Indonesia. Its exploitation is complicated, because these volcanoes are still active. It is mainly found in sulfur deposits.

This stone results from a mixture of layers of ash and sulfur compacted under the effect of pressure and heat from volcanoes. This kind of mineral mud was only formed during the rainy season.

Bumblebee jasper carries within itself all the energies of the volcano from which it was born and has many lithotherapy virtues.
