Plum Blossom Jasper is a trade name for a variety of opaque, microcrystalline quartz (Jasper) often showing delicate, flowery patterns that resemble the celebrated plum blossom flower. Its base colour is typically a mix of dark greys, greens, browns, or blacks, interspersed with lighter pink, red, or white dots and circular patterns. This scenic patterning gives it a delicate yet grounded appearance. It has a durable structure and polishes to a smooth, waxy lustre, making it a popular choice for beads, carvings, and artistic jewellery.
Plum Blossom Jasper is known as the "Stone of Resilience and Renewal." The plum blossom is a symbol of endurance, hope, and beauty emerging from struggle, as it flowers in late winter. This stone carries a deep, nurturing, and grounding energy that helps the user find strength, courage, and motivation during challenging times. It promotes patience, emotional stability, and the ability to appreciate the subtle beauties in life. It is excellent for promoting compassion and helping to integrate spiritual lessons into the practical, daily world.
