matte ash jasper round beads 4mm

American Bead Corp. is your one-stop shop for high-quality Ash Jasper gemstone beads at wholesale prices.  These unique beads boast striking gray-black patterns embedded in a creamy white or gray colored base, making them a captivating choice for your jewelry creations.

The Allure of Ash Jasper

Ash Jasper's distinctive appearance is a result of volcanic ash deposits becoming trapped within the stone's quartz and chalcedony matrix. This natural process creates a mesmerizing effect, with the ash appearing layered or speckled throughout the bead.  The name "Jasper" itself originates from the Old French word "jaspre," which translates to "speckled or spotted stone," perfectly encapsulating Ash Jasper's characteristic markings.

A Neutral Canvas for Creativity

Ash Jasper's beautiful yet neutral color scheme makes it a versatile bead for a wide range of design applications. The creamy white or gray base provides a calming backdrop, while the pops of gray and black add depth and intrigue. This color combination allows Ash Jasper to complement a variety of other gemstone colors, metals, and design elements.

Beyond Beauty: The Metaphysical Properties of Ash Jasper

Jasper, in general, is believed to possess nurturing properties, and Ash Jasper is no exception. Many wear Ash Jasper jewelry for its potential to evoke feelings of calm, tranquility, and peace.  It is also associated with a sense of well-being and grounding, making it a popular choice for those seeking emotional balance and stability.
