Imperial Jasper
Imperial Jasper occurs naturally in a beautiful range of colors including pinks, mossy greens, burgundy and milky white, with striking patterns of parallel banding. Jasper has a long and illustrious history, having been worn by shamans, priests and kings — and believed to be a powerful protection stone. Ancient Egyptians sometimes buried their dead with amulets of Jasper for safe passage into the afterlife. Miriam's Private Gemstone Collection includes an unusual African Imperial Jasper stones that combine touches of a pale mauve with peach with a rich terracotta and brown.
