African Opal Jasper Historically, Jasper was a prized gem, with the name Jasper derived from the Greek word for "spotted stone." Associated with stabilizing the Heart Chakra (4th Chakra) & offering calming & purifying properties, African Opal Jasper's translucent quality is associated with finding inner peace & aiding emotional healing. It is also connected to the following zodiac signs: Scorpio, Leo, Capricorn, Virgo, Aries, & Cancer.

Howlite Considered by Native Americans to be the "White Buffalo Stone" with its porcelain white color and grey-ish veins, Howlite came to symbolize peace & purity. In Native American cultures, the rare white buffalo with a black nose, eyes, & hooves, a genetic anomaly, signifies spiritual connection & blessings. To the Lakota tribes, the calf's birth portends better times ahead. Lakota legend says about 2,000 years ago — when nothing was good, food was running out & bison were disappearing — White Buffalo Calf Woman appeared, presented a bowl pipe and a bundle to a tribal member, taught them how to pray, & said that the pipe could be used to bring buffalo to the area for food. As she left, she turned into a white buffalo calf. Most recently, a white buffalo calf was born on June 4, 2023, in Yellowstone National Park's Lamar Valley in Wyoming. The birth of the calf came after a particularly harsh winter when thousands of buffalo retreated to lower altitudes, much to their detriment. Chief Arval Looking Horse, the spiritual leader of the Lakota, Dakota, & Nakota Oyate tribes, said that the arrival of the blessed white buffalo calf means we must do more to protect the Earth & its animals. Looking Horse explained that the baby white buffalo's birth is similar in meaning to the Christians' second coming of Jesus Christ. Many believe Howlite contains calming properties, assisting with anger management, promoting patience, & encouraging emotional stability. Some use Howlite for meditation & relaxation, believing it can help quiet the mind & promote deep sleep. Associated with both the Root & Crown Chakras, or 1st & 7th Chakras, Howlite is thought to expand our spiritual awareness while amplifying our feelings of safety & security. Howlite is strongly linked with Gemini & Virgo, providing calming balance for Gemini's reslessness & Virgo's tendency for overthinking. Some sources also link Howlite to Scorpio & Aries for its soothing properties, allowing anger & frustration to fade away.
