Description

Outback Jasper is a lovely sedimentary rock composed brown, red, and pink Jasper, with a little opal and various other minerals. It is found exclusively in the Outback, a remote and sparsely populated area of Australia. Most of the people who live there are involved in ranching or in mining. At one point, the area was home to a gold rush, but today the mining industry is far calmer. Energetically Outback Jasper inspires a calm self-assurance. It encourages us to go on a walkabout at least once in our lives, physically, if possible, but at least inside our own minds

Outback Jasper is found only in Australia. It is mined near the gold mining community of Payne’s Find in Western Australia. Outback Jasper is mined at its primary deposit, at a surface level and in shallow pits. All of these Jaspers are natural, enhanced only by cutting and polishing.

Jasper, also known as spotted stone, is an opaque, impure variety of Quartz that is usually red, yellow or brown in color. The mineral breaks with a smooth surface and is used for ornamentation or as a gemstone. It can be highly polished and is used for vases, seals, and other decorative items.
