The History
This piece is made with designer craftsmanship and quality.
A form of chalcedony, jasper is an opaque mineral of virtually any color.  Jasper is often observed with patterns that occur during the mineral’s formation.  Certain forms of jasper such as the pale green variety have been popular since the ancient period; the Minoans on Crete favored green jasper for their seals, but green jasper was also popular among the Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, and Hebrews of antiquity. Hailed as a significant gemstone among the ancients, it was also used to produce objects larger than jewelry such as vases and other vessels.
