Predominantly mined in Western Australia and South Africa, Dragon Jasper’s colorful appearance inspired many legends throughout history. Like all forms of Jasper, this stone is a form of cryptocrystalline Quartz. The trace minerals and impurities give it its iconic swirls and texture. Ancient folklore says that Dragon’s Blood Jasper was a powerful talisman. When carried, it was said to prevent a single drop of a warrior’s blood from falling on the battlefield.
 
Each adornment has been smoke cleansed with anglem (burned twined cotton cloth) infused with dragon's blood resin in order to release and drive away malevolent spirits or energies.
