- Jasper Shoushan Green with hematite Buddha head - VERY RARE - FIRST QUALITY Shoushan Jasper (or Shoushan stone) is a unique semiprecious stone, valued both for its historical significance in Chinese craftsmanship and for its attractive natural patterns in modern jewelry. The Shoushan Jasper is a gemstone that is extracted exclusively from the village of Shoushan, in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, China. Although commercially it is called "jasper" due to its opaque, veined appearance, mineralogically it is often described as a type of high-quality alabaster or pyrofilite. History and Culture: It has been declared Intangible Cultural Heritage in China. It has been used for centuries to create imperial seals and detailed sculptures due to its softness for carving. Appearance: It presents a wide range of colors including earth tones, blues (often called "aqua terra"), greens, reds and yellows. It is common to find it with patterns that mimic snake skin or landscapes. In the realm of crystal therapy and well-being, it is attributed with various qualities: - Energy Protection: It is considered an amulet against the "evil eye" and negative energies. - Balance and Meditation: Like other jasper varieties, it is believed to help balance yin and yang energies and promote spiritual connection. - Vitality: It is associated with strengthening self-confidence and providing positive energy.
