IDENTITY CARD

BRECCIATED JASPER

Brecciated Jasper is a stone of character, marked by its powerful contrasts and chaotic patterns of raw beauty. It is formed from rock fragments naturally consolidated by silica, creating a shattered mosaic effect. This unique appearance, both stable and fragmented, makes it a symbolically powerful stone: it evokes reconstruction, solidity after rupture. Sought after for its anchoring power, Brecciated Jasper embodies the ability to stand up strong.

A little history

Brecciated Jasper, with its fragmented, consolidated structure, was used in antiquity as a talisman stone to strengthen body and spirit after hardship. Objects carved from this stone have been found in prehistoric burials, suggesting that it was already attributed with protective and passage-giving virtues. During the Renaissance, alchemists regarded it as a symbol of natural transmutation - chaos reunited in unity.
