Picture Jasper Cabochon

Picture Jasper Cabochon

Also known as Scenic Jasper, picture Jasper is a beautiful variety of Agate or jasperized Rhyolite, prized for its landscape-like inclusions which are revealed when the material is properly cut. The stones with those unusual "pictures" (hills, waves, shores) are highly prized by collectors, not only for their beauty but also for their rarity; the material is mined only in the Namibia desert (Africa) and Oregon (USA).

In some cultures it is believed Picture Jasper is a powerful stone that can improve your creativity and visualization skills. It is often used by writers and artists searching for inspiration in an effort to help them connect to their inner focus. When used in the home, it is said to offer a sense of comfort and security. It may also encourage initiative and confidence and be beneficial for one's personal and professional life.
