To the ancient and medieval world, the most highly prized was Green Jasper, a rare, single-colored variety ranging from pale spring green to a deep tea or olive green, described by one “Onomakristos” five centuries before the Christian era as “the grass-green Jasper, which rejoiceth the eye of man and is looked on with pleasure by the immortals.” Isidorus in 1612 echoed the sentiment saying, “The Jasper (Jaspis) signifieth green and such a green as doth illustriously shine forth with a very supreme viridity, or greenness of glory.” The name can be traced back in Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Assyrian, Greek and Latin, and the virtues of Jaspers have been extolled throughout the ages by the most noted physicians, magicians, poets, scientists, lapidaries and scholars. They were known as the “rain bringers” and nurturers, healers of the spirit and stones of courage and wisdom. Jaspers have been revered by ancient peoples and civilizations throughout the world as sacred and powerful stones of protection, for both the physical and spiritual realm.
