Sneak-Peek at ADORA by Simona's New Collection - "SPIRIT"

Oct. 18, 2012 - PRLog -- There is something about Aqua Terra Jasper (also known as sea sediment jasper) that caused me to not want to put down that strand of beads after I picked it up at the last gem show.  And there is something about the lively combination between copper and blue that always lights my eyes.  So this is how I came up with this unique pair of earrings.  

Vibrant  jasper teardrops (10x16mm) with sedimentary inclusions that only make the stone more interesting are hanging from hand-hammered raw copper bars (5x20mm) that are slighly curved for added dimension.  

Copper french hook style ear wires.  

Overall length of the earring is 57mm (approx. 2 1/4").

Handcrafted - One of a kind.

Sea Sediment Jasper is only one of the names for this absolutely gorgeous stone that is also referred to as : "Aqua Terra Jasper" (the blue and green colors), "Impression Jasper" (for it does make quite the impression), "Snakeskin Jasper", as well as "Variscite" and "Regalite".  Jasper was a favorite gem in ancient times and is referenced in Hebrew, Assyrian and Latin literature. It is a fine-grained chalcedony and comes in all colors. The name jasper comes from the Greek and means "spotted stone".

Aqua Terra (translated as Water and Earth) - the blue and green varieties of Sea Sediment Jasper is a wonderful stone for helping one find inner peace, clarity, love and compassion, helps with the alignment of the physical and "light" bodies and is an excellent stone for emotional healing.
