STONE BUMBLEBEE JASPER FREE FORM

This unique Bumble Bee Jasper originates only on the island of Bali near the hot vents of Mount Papandayan, an active volcano. The formation of this gemstone takes place in cracks, known as fumaroles, through which steam and gas can escape. Some cracks persist for decades or even centuries, while some disappear within weeks.

As these cracks collect rain, they become natural hot springs. In some breaks, nearby sediments liquefy and begin to boil. Some of these cracks get filled with gray mud, while others become colorful due to the presence of volcanic ash, gypsum, barite, sulfur, and orpiment. Gradually, these mud pools cool down, and the gemstone formation takes place. Miners use small tools as well as heavy machinery to extract Bumble Bee Jasper from the solidified mud pools.

Many gem therapists view Bumble Bee Jasper is a stone that invigorates willpower and creative capacities. It is said to teach one the possibilities of manifesting one’s dreams and inspirations. Some say this stone helps one go beyond fear and hesitation, enhancing one’s confidence and sense of adventure.

Bumble Bee Jasper is said to be beneficial for treating ailments of the liver, spleen, and pancreas. Gem therapists note that this colorful gemstone helps promote weight loss and combat constipation. Some believe it to be particularly useful in strengthening the immune system.
