Dalmatian Jasper and Onyx earrings

£9.00

These unique earrings are made with sterling silver.

Included with these earrings is a presentation bag and a card describing its gemstones.

Dalmatian Jasper

Jasper comes in many combinations of colours and patterns but Dalmatian Jasper is known for its even, black spots against a creamy matrix - hence the name. This is an intensely protective stone that offers a slow, steady energy to its wearer, and is therefore said to be an especially good aid to recuperation.

A grounding stone, Dalmatian Jasper is said to allow its wearer to see themselves more truly. It also increases patience and offers protection from nightmares (though only if worn overnight). Legend has it that jasper could protect its wearer from snake and spider bites, and Native Americans traditionally used the stone in rain-making ceremonies.

Onyx

A form of black chalcedony, Onyx is said to help its wearer to become 'master of one's own fate', enhancing steadfastness and determination, while protecting its wearer from the negativity of others.

Ancient Egyptians believed that Onyx could protect against and sever emotional entanglements, and the stone is still said to be of great use in absorbing excess of emotion. In addition, Onyx assists its wearer in changing old patterns of behaviour . These properties make Onyx an excellent choice for those who are experiencing difficulty in letting go of old habits or past attachments.
