I simply adore elephants, they are peaceful yet fiercely protective of their tribe and the very definition of massive power restrained. Because of its massive size and towering height, the elephant spirit animal naturally signifies strength and power. But even with its intimidating presence, the elephant totem can also be one of the friendliest and gentlest creatures in the world, provided you are friendly and gentle with them.

Picture Jasper brings calming energy that helps one focus on their creative work, it calms, stabilizes, and inspires. This stone nurtures and supports during stressful periods of time and helps guide that energy into a positive form of communication. All Jaspers enhance feelings of support and wholeness, they are also known to bring protection from negative energy. Jasper heals by helping us feel complete and safe, these gemstones amp courage and stimulate determination.

Picture Jasper gets its name from the vibrant colours which resemble a picture, or print. The mottled patterns and swirls in Picture Jasper are said to be reminiscent of natural scenes from the earth, especially landscapes. It was given this name because it is composed of bands of microscopic quartz crystals that were tightly packed together in an alternating pattern like tiles on a floor.

Picture Jasper carries a strong connection to Earth energies and as such can help bring harmony to your life on many levels. What sets this stone apart from many other Jasper varieties is its extraordinary banding or veining which is created by silicate or petrified mud and the often inclusion of dendrites.

Picture-Jasper’s remarkable colours are because of its high iron content and the level of minerals and impurities present in the stone. It has different shades of brown, so you get a stone that’s brown with some blue, black, tan, or ivory shades present as well. When cut or polished, this stone can show very detailed images on its surface that look very much like scenes or pictures!

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 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.

Jasper is often associated with the season of autumn, with grounding and being connected to the energies of the earth.Many people who love Jasper say that it anchors them in the present moment and helps with any tendencies towards over-thinking and worrying about the future.The energy of Jasper is slow, relaxed, and very grounded, bringing comfort and a sense that all is right with your world.

Jasper encourages gratitude, something that is widely held to be extremely beneficial to our mental health.Many of us struggle with the concept of gratitude when we are feeling overwhelmed or badly treated. Jasper can help us to find the little things we need to be grateful for.\nJasper is a good stone to have near you if you feel that things are becoming overwhelming, or that you are close to burning out.Jasper is a balancing stone and can help you to put down any burdens you may be shouldering that are not yours to carry. It helps clear the mind and is a powerful protector against negative feelings, moods, and vibrations.

On a personal level, the elephant represents facing obstacles and clearing them from your path. When an elephant appears in your dreams, it can be a sign that there’s an obstacle in your life that needs to be addressed that can’t be ignored any longer. The animal’s wisdom will help guide you to the right decision and clear the way for you to find good things and cultivate happiness.

Native to Africa and Asia, the animals have special significance there. The Hindu god Ganesha is believed to be a remover of obstacles. He’s the god of beginnings, whom people worship before starting any major endeavour in their lives. In China, the elephant is a symbol of strength and wisdom. Buddha is often portrayed as an elephant, and his mother is believed to have had dreams of an elephant before his birth. The Ashanti people revere elephants as their reincarnated leaders.
