Porcelain Jasper

Porcelain Jasper, also known as “Queen of the Jaspers” and Mayan Porcelain Jasper, is from Mexico and is as beautiful as the name implies. It has colors ranging from cream to dusty purple to inky black and these beads have an amazingly soft, silky finish.
 
The Maya civilization believed that Porcelain Jasper was bestowed with magical powers. The Mayan elite sought out this rare stone to proclaim their status. It has been used by shamans for protection and is said to absorb negative energy.
