AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This extraordinary Heliotrope sphere, also known as Dragon Blood Jasper, is a truly one-of-a-kind natural artwork. Its deep, earthy green base is dramatically contrasted by bold red jasper inclusions and large, eye-catching quartz formations, creating a powerful and dynamic visual presence.

Unlike typical Dragon Blood Jasper, this piece stands out for its exceptionally large quartz areas, which add depth, texture, and striking geological character. The quartz appears as pale, translucent to milky sections embedded within the jasper matrix, highlighting the stone’s complex formation history. Every angle reveals new details—fragmented patterns, mineral contrasts, and natural structures shaped over millions of years.

The sphere has been expertly polished to a smooth, high-gloss finish, enhancing both the intensity of the red inclusions and the natural luminosity of the quartz.

Metaphysical & Symbolic Associations
-Heliotrope / Dragon Blood Jasper is traditionally associated with:
Strength, courage, and vitality
Grounding and resilience
Balance between heart energy (red) and earth energy (green)
