Description
Kiwi Jasper and Sesame Jasper are interchangeable trade names for a black-flecked stone, often mixed with translucent crystalline formations. To avoid confusion, we use the term Kiwi Jasper to refer to the light green variety of this stone, while Sesame Jasper better describes the white or lighter-colored form of this mineral. Like all Jasper varieties, Sesame Jasper is a nurturing stone. It nourishes and supports us in times of stress, bringing peace and wholeness. Used in healing, it unites all aspects of life. Jasper aligns the chakras and absorbs negative energy. The name Jasper is derived from the Greek word Iaspis, meaning "spotted stone." Sesame Jasper and Kiwi Jasper are names used to describe this beautiful Jasper. This variety of Jasper is a mint green with flecks of black, reminiscent of dots. Kiwi/Sesame Jasper is a pale seafoam green with black and clear crystal flecks throughout. It is a nurturing stone, a good stone for healers to use. It is a good stone for those in counseling or therapy who want to overcome addictions or compulsive behaviors and gather their strength for emotional battles. It is a powerful stone for those who stand for justice and fair play. Despite its natural color, this is not a soft kind of energy, but incredibly vibrant and stimulating. It elevates one's spirit and uplifts the mood. This "euphoria" is not the kind that causes one to lose one's thinking process, but rather amplifies the natural impulse of love, which brings about a shift in attitude, mood, and spirit. This, in turn, helps one balance the art of giving and receiving.
