Shell Jasper is often used for protection and grounding. It rejuvenates and strengthens. As a black and white stone, it is also used for balance – bringing relaxation, well-being and serenity.

Did you know that this Shell Jasper is not technically a jasper - but rather a mixture of white fossil brachiopods (shells) and gray limestone. These ancient creations are a result of shells buried on the ocean floor and over time, the accumulating mud turns to stone and the remaining spaces are filled with white crystalline calcite. The beautiful black, white and gray pattern give an appearance of "eyes" - indicative of its strong protective powers
