Beginners Guide to Getting Stoned... I mean Stones! (Bumblebee Jasper)

   Raised by Optimus Prime, Bumblebee was one of the last generation of the Transformer Autobots to be created from the Well of Allsparks...

Pssst... wrong Bumblebee. Today’s blog post is about Bumblebee Jasper, the unique crystal healing stone that promotes strength, courage, confidence, and optimism, and is thought to be beneficial during times of stress and anxiety.

I don’t know... sounds like the character I was talking about.

Tumbled Bumblebee Jasper

   Not even close. Bumblebee Jasper is not an Autobot from Cybertron. Instead, it’s a rare gemstone mined from the volcanic vents of Mt. Papandayan in Indonesia. It has a Mohs hardness of 3-5, making it one of the softer gemstones.

Wait, doesn’t Jasper have a Mohs hardness of 6.5-7?

   It does. Bumblebee Jasper, however, is not a true Jasper. It’s actually a type of travertine because it consists mostly of calcite and contains little silica. This composition explains the stone’s relative softness.

That's cool and everything, but does it transform into something else?

   Well, no, but it is a transformative stone, one that encourages us to embrace change and step into the unknown. This gemstone is believed to strengthen an unshakable belief in oneself and one’s abilities, empowering a truth of infinite possibility and power.

I like the sound of that!

   Bumblebee Jasper is also thought to bring individuals into harmony with the universal current by opening the solar plexus and sacral chakras. It inspires community and mindful service while teaching that personal happiness is an expression of joy that elevates the world. As a manifesting stone, it awakens willpower and fuels the drive to create.

It looks pretty.

   It sure does. It gets its name from the black, yellow, and orange layers that resemble certain types of bees. It’s commonly used to make jewelry.

And that would pair well with some of my outfits!
