Bumble Bee Jasper Double Terminated Point 2.06""

Bumble Bee Jasper is another one of my favorite crystals. Yes, I adore all crystals but something about the Bumble Bee🐝 The way the colors swirl around, the vibrant pops of yellow next to the white, black, and grey tones is mesmerizing. 

This piece is 2.06 inches long and has a double terminated point. Double-terminated crystals allow energy to flow both ways, making them great tools for energy healing and spiritual practices. Double-terminated crystals absorb energy at one point, transform it, and emanate it at the other point. They are great for crystal grids, meditation, energy clearing and healing, and manifestation.

Bumblebee Jasper technically is not a true Jasper as it doesn't contain quartz. It is a complex calcium carbonate mineral (like calcite and aragonite) with inclusions of arsenic and manganese oxides. Yes, you read that right. Arsenic. Bumble Bee Jasper could potentially be toxic but this would apply more to exposure when drilling the mineral. But I don't suggest putting this gem in your mouth, just to be on the safe side.

The banding and layering, which resembles a bumblebee (hence the name), is caused by inclusions of sulfur (yellow), calcium and aragonite (white), Orpiment and realgar (orange), and Pyrite (black). Bumble Bee Jasper was only recently discovered in the 1990s in Papandayan Volcano, West Java Province, Indonesia. This mineral has yet to be discovered anywhere else on Earth and geologists don’t expect to find another deposit of it anytime soon. This is an extremely rare occurrence in nature that simply doesn’t happen. Bumble Bee Jasper is a gem to be cherished, respected, and valued for its unique nature.

Bumble Bee Jasper is a stone of mental clarity and eases worries. Pairing the stone with the shape of the double terminated point is sure to amplify those positive vibes.
