Heart Shaped Polychrome Jasper Crystal

This carved crystal heart is listed as Heart Shaped Polychrome Jasper Crystal (shop SKU WJPJH29), and is sold at Namaste Bookshop near Union Square.

Polychrome, or desert, jasper is a colorful opaque chalcedony, often from Madagascar, with desert-like swirls of tan, red, and green. In crystal traditions, jasper is associated with grounding and stamina. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed.
