Jasper:-

In general, Jasper is known as the “supreme nurturer”. It sustains and supports during times of stress, and brings tranquility and wholeness. Used in healing, Jasper unifies all aspects of your life. Jasper reminds people to help each other.

The word Jasper comes from “iaspi” a Greek word that means “spotted stone”. Jasper is an opaque rock of virtually any colour stemming from the mineral content of the original sediments or ash. Patterns arise during the consolidation process forming flow and depositional patterns in the original silica rich sediment or volcanic ash, Hydrothermal action is generally thought to be required in the formation of jasper.

Jasper is a variety of quartz that may contain up to 20 percent foreign materials or inclusions, including organic material and mineral oxides, which determine the colour, pattern and appearance of the stone. Uniformly coloured jasper is uncommon but not unheard of; usually jasper is multicoloured, spotted or banded.

Jasper can be modified by the diffusion of minerals along discontinuities providing the appearance of vegetative growth, i.e., dendritic. The original materials are often fractured and/or distorted, after deposition, into diverse patterns, which are later filled in with other colourful minerals. Weathering, with time, will create intensely coloured superficial rinds.

The classification and naming of jasper varieties presents a challenge. Terms attributed to various well-defined materials includes the geographic locality where it is found, sometimes quite restricted such as "Bruneau" (a canyon) and "Lahontan" (a lake), rivers and even individual mountains; many are fanciful, such as "forest fire" or "rainbow", while others are descriptive, such as "autumn" or "porcelain". A few are designated by the place of origin such as a brown Egyptian or red African.

Polaris:-

Polaris could be said to understand its role in relationship to the Earth, that in this age its light guides humanity in literal ways, but also symbolically. 

The current North Star is called Polaris. This name comes from the Latin “Stella Polaris,” which means “Pole Star”. In Ancient Greece, the North Star was called “Kynosoura,” translated as “the dog's tail.” This word became the Latin “cynosure,” which is still used today to mean the centre of attention or something that serves as a guide.

Polaris, or the North Star is the rank rather than the name of a particular star. It describes the closest star to the Earth’s North celestial pole. Nowadays, Alpha Ursae Minoris is the star that fits the definition.

The star is about 430 light years away and is a yellow supergiant 2500 times more luminous than our Sun with a radius 45 times that of the Sun and a mass six times as great.

Some other names for Polaris are the North Star, the Pointer, the Star of the Sea, the Steering Star, the Lodestar, and the Star at the Top of the Heavenly Mountain. They all indicate the great importance of this star in life and culture.

Polaris sits more or less directly above Earth's north pole along our planet's rotational axis. This is the imaginary line that extends through the planet and out of the north and south poles. Earth rotates around this line, like a spinning top. Polaris is located quite close to the point in the sky where the north rotational axis points – a spot called the north celestial pole. As our planet rotates through the night, the stars around the pole appear to rotate around the sky. Over the hours, these stars each sweep out a circle around the celestial pole. The farther a star is from the pole, the larger the circle it travels around the sky. Some stars travel a great distance over the course of the night.

Polaris is different, however because it's so close to the celestial pole, it traces out a very small circle over 24 hours. So Polaris always stays in roughly the same place in the sky, and therefore it's a reliable way to find the direction of north. It would appear directly overhead if you stood at the north pole, but farther south, it indicated the direction of north.

The North Star has been a symbol of guidance and direction for centuries. In ancient times, navigators and travellers used the North Star as a way to determine their location and navigate the seas. Even today, the North Star is still seen as a symbol of hope and direction, guiding us towards our true north.

Many cultures throughout history have looked to the North Star as a symbol of hope and direction. In ancient Greece, the North Star was associated with the goddess Athena, who was seen as a symbol of wisdom and guidance. In ancient China, the North Star was seen as a symbol of the emperor and was used to align the capital city's structures with the cardinal points. In many indigenous cultures, the North Star was seen as a symbol of the Great Spirit, guiding the people on their journey through life.

In modern times, the North Star continues to be a symbol of guidance and direction. It is a reminder to stay true to ourselves and follow our own path, even when the world around us seems to be in chaos. The North Star reminds us that even in the darkest of times, there is always a light that guides us towards our true north.

The North Star can also act as a symbol of hope and direction in our personal lives. When we are feeling lost or uncertain, looking to the North Star can remind us to stay true to our values and beliefs, and to follow our own path. It can also remind us to be consistent, just like the North Star is always in the same place in the sky, we should always be true to ourselves.
