Picture Jasper Signature Wrap Necklace

Grounded • Ancient • Enduring

This Moe Gems Signature Wrap Necklace brings together Picture Jasper and Petrified Wood — two stones that quite literally carry the memory of the Earth. Designed to rest gently across the throat, heart, and upper torso, this versatile wrap necklace honors intentional placement, allowing grounding stones to sit where the body holds stress, breath, and emotion. Earthy, steady, and quietly powerful, this piece is meant to feel like something you’ve always owned.

• Can be worn multiple ways (wrap, lariat, layered, or long front-drop)
• 4mm natural Picture Jasper beads with coordinating seed beads - overlap at the back of the neck for comfort and fluid wrap
• Petrified Wood focal stone at the neckline

Origin & History

Picture Jasper forms over millions of years as silica-rich sediments settle and harden, often incorporating iron, clay, and organic material. Its landscapes — deserts, mountains, riverbeds — appear naturally within the stone, giving it its name. Major sources include the western United States, Madagascar, Africa, and parts of Australia.

Petrified Wood is even older in origin, formed when ancient trees were buried by sediment and slowly replaced by silica while retaining their original structure. Some specimens date back over 200 million years. Across cultures, Petrified Wood was regarded as a stone of endurance, ancestral memory, and continuity between past and present.

Indigenous cultures of North America valued jasper and fossilized wood as grounding talismans, often carried for protection during travel and used in ceremonial tools. These stones were not decorative alone — they were considered stabilizing allies, connecting the wearer to land, lineage, and time.

Notes

• Mineral Family: Chalcedony (microcrystalline Quartz)
• Mohs Hardness: 6.5–7

Stone Character & Appearance

Picture Jasper is known for its layered browns, tans, creams, and subtle rust tones — patterns that resemble aerial landscapes or desert horizons. These natural markings are not imperfections, but geological records formed over vast time. Petrified Wood often shows grain lines, knots, and organic textures preserved in stone, serving as a quiet reminder that life can transform without being lost.

The seed bead overlap at the back of the neck allows the necklace to rest smoothly against the skin, enhancing comfort while maintaining elegant structure and intentional stone placement.

Eastern Healing Perspectives

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Picture Jasper and Petrified Wood are considered Earth-element stones with grounding, stabilizing qualities.

Worn as a wrap necklace, these stones rest over the throat, heart, and solar plexus, areas associated with communication, emotional regulation, and core vitality — making placement a key part of their supportive role.

Transparency
