Bumblebee Jasper is a trade name used to describe a vibrant orange, yellow & black banded carbonate-rich rock from West Java, Indonesia. Despite its name, it is not actually Jasper, but instead a combination of minerals such as Calcite, Realgar, Orpiment, Pyrite & more. Discovered in the late 1990’s, it was given the name ‘Bumblebee’ due to its bee-like pattern & colour.

Glowing & buzzing with warm energy, this crystal brings fortitude, confidence & creativity, as well as invites new opportunities into your life. This vibrant yet powerful stone inspires you to make choices based on what makes you happy, inviting you to celebrate all your achievements. It grants you the emotional strength & courage to stay grateful & joyful even in the hardest moments. When met with harsh words & criticism, Bumblebee Jasper will encourage you to stand tall & not allow anyone or anything to dull your spark. By encouraging an optimistic & grateful outlook, this stone can help you discover all the small, wonderful moments surrounding you daily.

Because Bumblebee Jasper contains Sulphur & Arsenic, care should be taken when working with it (especially unpolished specimens.) Hold for a few moments when needing a spark of joy, positivity & creative inspiration. Carry with you in a pouch to surround you with happiness wherever you go. Write down what you are most grateful for & place it next to your stone.
