Zebra Jasper

Information found online varies regarding this zebra-striped stone.  Some pages claim that zebra jasper is actually a calcite commonly grouped with jaspers.  However, my source for crystals and gemstones, a graduate gemologist, says that jasper is usually considered a chalcedony, though some scientists put it in a group by itself with the quartz group.  Zebra jasper helps you connect with Mother Earth.  It encourages universal love, and brings the true natures of the user to the surface.  Use it to dissolve illusion, and for aura protection.  Athletes would benefit from this stone as it can increase stamina.

Physically, zebra jasper strengthens bones, teeth, and gums.  It aids osteoporosis, muscle spasm, and heart palpitations.

Zebra jasper is associated with the root chakra.
