The incredible peculiarity of jasper is that it comes in many finishes. Some have been identified very recently. All varieties have many colors with different properties, virtues, various astrological signs associated with them.

Jasper can have several appearances. It is a sedimentary rock containing 80 to 95% silica. Jasper is a variety of microcrystalline quartz and can also contain clay, calcite, pyrolusite or hematite.

It has a nodular appearance or sometimes serves as a filling in cracks. It can be found all over the world and in all colors. It also has all kinds of patterns, speckled or banded. It is a mineral that has undergone many transformations, sometimes classified as a mineral, sometimes as a rock according to its degree of impurities.

Its particularity remains the infinite extent of its aspects, all different from each other. Jasper gives the impression that Mother Nature had fun drawing on these stones. Jasper is a complicated stone to identify because of its various appearances. Its colors range from green to yellow, from red to white, from blue to black, from brown to gray, etc.

The properties of jasper differ depending on its additives (manganese, alumina, iron hydroxide) and its inclusions (agate or opal). Jasper mainly owes its colors to the iron oxides present. This diversity of colors and shapes makes each jasper stone unique. Jaspers are named according to the regions where they are mined, according to the person who discovered them, according to their color, according to the patterns.

The name “jasper” comes from the Greek “iaspis” meaning spotted stone. Jasper has been known for thousands of years. In the Bible, it is the first stone of the walls of Jerusalem. It is known to act against spider and snake bites. Since ancient times, this stone has been used as a protective stone, a lucky charm and to promote the smooth running of a pregnancy. Jasper amulets were carved by the Egyptians and placed with mummies to promote the success of their passage into the afterlife.

Many civilizations have used this stone to engrave cylindrical seals, talismans with astrological or religious images. In addition, for Native Americans and in the Middle Ages, jasper was believed to have the ability to make rain fall.

In conclusion, jasper is a stone that has been widely exploited throughout history. It is found as an ornamental stone, in jewelry, on vases, in mosaics, etc.

The main deposits of Bumblebee Jasper are in Indonesia.

Bumblebee Jasper was identified and catalogued in the 1990s.
At that time, a local miner sent a sample of this stone to the Arizona Mineral Fair. This was the beginning of the recognition of bumblebee jasper.

Bumblebee Jasper is actually both a jasper and an agate, or more curiously, neither. Indeed, these two groups of minerals do not really correspond to the bumblebee stone. In the absence of a category adapted to this stone, we prefer the name “bumblebee jasper”.

However, the term “jasper” is surprising, because this stone does not contain silica, quartz or moganite in its composition. But it is still a sedimentary rock with a creation process identical to that of jasper.

Bumblebee jasper owes its name to the presence of wavy bands of alternating yellow, orange and black. It evokes the colors of the bumblebee. Indeed, the term bumblebee jasper is hardly used on the internet, so the name “bumblebee jasper” will be retained.

Bumblebee Jasper is mainly composed of layers of volcanic ash and therefore contains gypsum, angelite, orpiment, arsenic sulfide and hematite. These layers of volcanic ash are alternated with different layers of sulfur.

Its beautiful yellow color is due to the significant presence of sulfur. In its raw state, it is therefore strongly recommended to handle this stone with gloves because of its toxicity. On the other hand, when this stone is polished, it no longer presents any danger and can be mounted in jewelry. However, if you break your stone, do not try to repair it. It also contains arsenic and can be very dangerous. Put on gloves and throw it away.

Bumblebee jasper is found only in volcanoes on the island of Java in Indonesia. Its exploitation is complicated, because these volcanoes are still active. It is mainly found in sulfur deposits.

This stone is the result of a mixture of layers of ash and sulfur compacted under the pressure and heat of volcanoes. This type of mineral mud was formed only during the rainy season.

Bumblebee jasper carries within it all the energies of the volcano from which it was born and has many virtues in lithotherapy.
