Introduction
Graphic and modern, Zebra Jasper delivers monochrome drama you can wear every day. Natural black-and-white patterning reads like ink on marble—clean, striking, and effortlessly neutral.
Uniform 8mm rounds provide a balanced wrist profile and a comfortable stretch fit. It pairs as easily with a suit as with denim, and stacks beautifully with silver, onyx, or labradorite.
Geological Details
Composition: Jasper is microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂; trigonal, silicate class). Zebra Jasper’s contrast comes from iron and manganese oxides distributed through silica-rich sediments that later silicified into stone.
Locality Notes: Many bead-grade lots are cut from African and Indian deposits known for crisp black-on-white marbling ideal for round beads.
Aesthetic Appeal
This strand blends inky blacks, cloud whites, and soft greys. Some beads show broad swaths; others display speckled, brush-stroke patterns—giving movement and visual interest without feeling busy.
Metaphysical Properties
Favored for balance and endurance, Zebra Jasper is used to ground scattered energy, encourage optimism, and support steady progress—yin/yang harmony with a practical edge.
Wellness note: Crystal traditions are complementary and not a substitute for medical care.
Rarity
Quartz is abundant, but bead-grade Zebra Jasper with crisp, high-contrast patterning and consistent 8mm rounds is less common—making well-matched strands desirable to collectors and wearers.
