Jasper is one of the oldest known gemstones and is mentioned in the Bible several times. The name jasper in its closest form to English comes from the Hebrew "jashpeh," meaning firm, tough and strengthening. Tigerskin "jasper," also known as wood jasper, is the trade name for a type of limestone with beige and tan striped bands that create the appearance of petrified wood. Its opaque, rich brown tones of contrasting stripes and swirls against a medium to dark golden base makes an earthy statement.
Tigerskin jasper's color comes from iron oxides of earthy tan, yellow and yellowish brown. And its name "tigerskin" is based on the swirls and stripes of contrasting colors. In an old children's story a bunch of tigers hold onto each other's tails and run around in a circle so fast they melt into a pool of rich creamy butter. That's the look of tawny golden tigerskin ''jasper.'' Jasper, sometimes called hornstone, actually means "spotted stone" in Greek. But in tigerskin ''jasper,'' those "spots" (from iron oxide) appear as pencil-thin streaks of brown in the dark golden matrix.
As one of the many gemstones that tout an animal name, tigerskin "jasper" helps us to draw from its animal nature when we need that additional power or kick. It tells us that life isn't just about thinking or analyzing things, but rather about living in the moment and celebrating the present.
Tigerskin "jasper's" animal colors intensify those things. Tigerskin "jasper" takes us out of our heads and puts us back into our bodies, giving a whole new meaning to the expressions "hold that tiger!" or having "a tiger in your tank."
It's a nurturing stone for well-being and grounding and is believed to enhance healing, purification and positive thoughts. Tigerskin "jasper" is said to ease emotional stress and wearing tigerskin "jasper" beads can make you feel more relaxed and secure, creating positive energy and happiness. This stone is also known to strengthen courage, improve bravery and boost the immune system.
Clean tigerskin "jasper" jewelry with a soft dry cloth. Clean quickly if the jewelry becomes soiled, as jaspers can be porous and easily stained. Wash with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or soft brush. Dry thoroughly.
Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat and store in a cloth or fabric bag so it cannot scratch softer materials or be scratched by metals or harder gemstones.
Tigerskin "jasper" is a great choice for creating earthy jewelry statements. Its contrasting swirls and stripes of tan, yellow and yellowish brown create a tawny golden stone that's so rich looking it'll make you feel decadent wearing it.
