The stones with those unusual "pictures" (hills, waves, shores) are highly prized by collectors, not only for their beauty but also for their rarity; the material is mined only in the Namibia desert (Africa) and Oregon (USA). Picture Jasper is usually seen containing cream, brown, grey, orange, and other earthtones, and is characterized by its unique landscape patterns. Picture Jasper is a powerful stone that is said to improve your creativity and visualization skills. It is often used by writers and artists searching for inspiration in an effort to help them connect to their inner focus. When used in the home, it is said to offer a sense of comfort and security. It may also encourage initiative and confidence and be beneficial for one's personal and professional life.
