Picture Jasper is a golden yellow or sandy colored form of Jasper decorated with darker bands and specks that often create 'pictures' of desert landscapes. The stone is said to be an excellent focus for meditation, especially when undertaking spirit journeys to desert lands to gain understanding of American Indian, Egyptian or Sumerian magic and spirituality.

Working with Picture Jasper is believed to help increase eloquence and the ability to describe your spiritual and magical journeys in words, so that other people can share your experiences and learn from them. The stone is said to create a magical connection with ancient civilizations and help us to understand and appreciate their beliefs, magic and spirituality.

Picture Jasper is believed to help you develop far sight, patience and the ability to look at the big picture, gaining a broad understanding that can prevent you from making rash promises or hasty decisions you might later regret. The stone is reputed to soothe anger, bring peaceful energy to hot tempered people and subdue passionate emotions so that you can gain a clearer understanding of your situation and make reasonable and logical decisions.
