Description

Crocodile Jasper is a type of jasper characterised by streaks that call to mind the crocodile's skin or the skin of other reptiles. It is a semiprecious stone characterised by different shades of green, brown and grey. It often has black or brown veinings that resemble the crocodile's skin. This stone is highly valued by mineral collectors and jewellers, who use it to create art objects, jewels and ornaments. Crocodile jasper is cut into cabochon shape or worked into the shape of a pearl or sphere, but it can also be used to create statues or decorative objects. As many other types of jasper, Crocodile jasper is a symbol of healing and protection.
