Picasso Jasper is a metamorphic limestone often classified as a Jasper (a microcrystalline quartz). It is highly prized for its distinctive, abstract markings—black, grey, tan, and brown linear patterns that appear to be painted across a creamy-white or grey-red base colour. These intricate patterns resemble a modern abstract painting, hence the name. It has a durable structure and polishes to a beautiful, waxy lustre, making it an excellent material for carvings, ornamental objects, and unique jewellery.

Picasso Jasper is known as the "Stone of Transformation and Artistic Clarity." It carries a powerful, grounding energy that facilitates the release of old emotional patterns and encourages the user to embrace change and transformation with courage. It is exceptionally effective at enhancing creativity and aiding in the clarification of new ideas, allowing them to be expressed clearly and artistically. It encourages renewed passion and helps to find the beauty and necessity of life's challenges.
