Coffee Jasper

Coffee Jasper is a grounding variety of chalcedony celebrated for its rich, earthy palette of deep browns, creams, and warm tan swirls that mimic the appearance of a freshly poured latte. A member of the diverse jasper family, its intricate, variegated patterns are formed as mineral-rich fluids permeate sedimentary or volcanic rock, depositing iron oxides and other impurities that create its distinctive "landscape" or "orbicular" markings.

With a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, Coffee Jasper is a robust and resilient stone, making it ideal for jewelry intended for frequent wear, such as bracelets, necklaces, and pendants. Its microcrystalline structure allows it to take a high, glass-like polish that highlights its complex internal textures and organic beauty. While various forms of brown jasper are found globally, significant deposits of these coffee-toned specimens are frequently sourced from South Africa, India, and the United States.

Deeply connected to the element of earth, Coffee Jasper is often associated with stability, focus, and grounding energy. It is highly valued for its perceived ability to provide comfort during stressful times, acting as a "nurturing stone" that encourages a slow, steady pace and a deeper connection to the natural world.
