A small, polished jasper obelisk, about 5 centimetres tall. The earthy, warm shades — brownish, reddish, mustard-yellow — and the fine natural veining give a characterful appearance. You receive a unique piece: jasper is a natural mineral, so the colour pattern and surface drawing differ on every piece.
The earthy mood of jasper
Jasper is a member of the microcrystalline quartz family, and various iron compounds within it give the warm, earthy shades. The polished surface creates a quiet glow that, together with the natural veining, brings a little piece of nature onto your shelf. Many people call jasper "the stone of the Earth", because its appearance is dense, calming and never showy.
Where the warmly coloured obelisk fits
The earthy brown-reddish tone looks lovely on a wooden shelf, against a linen background or on a low wooden tray. You can place it beside a small dried bouquet, where the natural forms make a harmonious little group. On a bookshelf in the living room, between two volumes, the warm tone visually ties together books with wooden and leather bindings. The pointed tip is an elegant little vertical element.
Care and durability
Jasper is a hard mineral (Mohs 7), resistant to scratches and unfaded by sunlight. Even so, it is worth protecting the pointed tip from being dropped. Wipe occasionally with a soft, dry cloth. If it becomes dusty, rinse briefly with lukewarm water and let it dry on a soft textile. Do not use chemicals to clean it.
