Red Mesa. Red River Jasper

Smooth red river jasper ovals in shades of red with mesa-like strata of cream, tan and dark brown/black. Gorgeous! I've wrapped them in copper with a rustic Celtic spiral, then aged and burnished the metal until it shines like ancient gold recently plucked from the desert. Hypoallergenic niobium ear wires.

Jasper is reputed to be the stone of interconnectedness, reminding us that we are not alone, and encouraging joyous outreach to others. What a wonderful thought, in tany season!
