{"product_id":"batik-jasper-hearts","title":"Batik Jasper Heart - 1.75 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Batik Jasper Heart is shaped into a full, deep-bodied form with softly uneven lobes and a shallow, slightly off-centre cleft, so each piece carries its own silhouette rather than a machine-matched outline. Charcoal and slate greys break across the surface in irregular patches, cut through by cream, ochre, and deep rust that pool and drift in painterly, organic flows. The polish is smooth and consistent across the curved faces, and the piece has a solid, substantial presence in a closed hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJasper has long been valued in folk tradition as a steadying material, and Batik Jasper is commonly described as reading settled and unhurried rather than stimulating. It is traditionally kept close during quiet reflection or meditation, and is believed by practitioners to help hold attention in the present moment. On a desk, bedside table, or altar it serves as a small tactile focus within a space, and Hearts of this kind are frequently chosen as gifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPrimary Focus: Protection \u0026amp; Grounding\u003cbr\u003e\nSecondary Focus: Balance \u0026amp; Harmony\u003cbr\u003e\nChakra Association: Root, Solar Plexus\u003cbr\u003e\nZodiac Sign: Aries, Scorpio\u003cbr\u003e\nChinese Zodiac: Rat, Dragon\u003cbr\u003e\nRuling Planet: Mars\u003cbr\u003e\nElements: Earth, Fire\u003cbr\u003e\nMohs Hardness: 7\u003cbr\u003e\nStone Family: Sedimentary Rock\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Batik Jasper\u003cbr\u003e\nForm: Heart\u003cbr\u003e\nFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Size: 43 mm (1.7 inches)\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Weight: 34-45 g\u003cbr\u003e\nListing: Sold by Single Unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBatik Jasper, also sold under the trade name Batik Ocean Jasper, is a chalcedony variety within the quartz family: silicon dioxide carrying multicolour mineral inclusions, Mohs 7, trigonal crystal system. Its swirled palette of browns, tans, reds, rusty orange, cream, and yellow, occasionally with green or pink, comes from varied trace mineral content, and the flowing distribution of those colours is what earned the material its name, resembling the wax-resist patterning of batik cloth. The trade name is modern rather than historical, drawn from the Indonesian and Javanese textile art. It is worth noting that the Batik Ocean Jasper name creates genuine overlap with Ocean Jasper, a geologically distinct spherulitic rhyolite, and the two materials are not the same. The material is natural, with no treatment or enhancement applied. Madagascar is the most commonly cited source, with general jasper sources also including India, China, and the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
