Green Forest Jasper Beads

Take a walk with us through the Michigan woods in winter. These lovely Green Forest Jasper beads are subtle and beautiful in color, affirming their versatility.

Jasper is a combination of chalcedony and quartz, and has been used in jewelry and decorative arts for thousands of years. It was often the stone of choice among Ancient Minoan, Egyptian, and Sasanian (Persian) Empires. The name Jasper comes from old French, jaspre, meaning “speckled stone”.

Jasper is said to facilitate nurturing behaviors and benefit healing.
