Rough Calligraphy Jasper from India

Calligraphy Jasper also goes by the trade names of "Elephant Skin Jasper," "Coquina Jasper," and "Miriam Stone." It is a sedimentary rock known for its strange script-like designs that are the product of layers of fossilized shells, bones, and plant matter that were naturally tumbled along the shores and sea bottom currents of the ancient Tethys Sea. These tumbled pieces were mixed with mud and pressurized as the Indian Plate and Eurasian Plate converged, closing in on the Tethys Sea until they collided around 50 million years ago, forming the present day Himalayan Mountain Range. Inclusions of iron in the form of hematite give Calligraphy Jasper its signature red color.

Calligraphy Jasper is made up of the fossilized remains of plants and animal matter that give it its signature patterns resembling an ancient script. All fossils are a source of ancient wisdom, and Calligraphy stone's patterns lend its energy to wise communication, both with others and with one's inner self, making it a powerful stone for use in meditation.

Photography

Although we always strive to provide clear, accurate images of our crystals and other products, we photograph under professional lighting, which is meant to mimic sunlight. If you get your crystal and think it looks a little different under low or artificial light, try checking it out again in sunlight!

Our crystals are one-of-a-kind art, created by nature.

No two pieces are the same, and there is no such thing as "perfection" in nature.

When it comes to our hand-carved items, remember that artists work with and around imperfections, druzy pockets, and other natural variations to bring each carving out of a piece of natural stone.

We consider these imperfections to be one of the most wonderful parts of crystal collecting, and we invite you to embrace each carving's uniqueness!

We will always try to portray each piece honestly, so be sure to look closely at our images and videos to ensure you know what to expect.
