Care & Cleansing
Snakeskin Jasper is the stone of protection, camouflage, and inner strength. It helps you remain unnoticed by negativity during turbulent times and find your own path. Because it is a very dense type of quartz (hardness 6.5 to 7), this stone is very robust and requires little maintenance.
- Cleansing: Snakeskin Jasper loves water. Feel free to rinse the stone under lukewarm running water or place it in a bowl of water to energetically discharge it. Smudging with Palo Santo or white sage is also an excellent method to make the stone fresh and powerful again.
- Charging: This stone is deeply connected to the earth and the sun. Preferably place it in the light of the early morning sun to recharge its vital energy. The full moon is also a great method. A Selenite charging plate or a bed of Selenite stones is a beautiful, safe way to completely purify and recharge the energy of this stone.
- ✨ Tip: Due to its hardness, Snakeskin Jasper is very durable. It is an ideal stone to wear directly on the skin; it does not react to skin acids and hardly scratches, so the pattern always remains beautifully sharp.
