Kiwi Jasper, also called Sesame Jasper, is a uniquely uplifting and tranquil variety of jasper distinguished by its dreamy mint green base scattered with speckles of black, cream, and translucent quartz. Contrary to its name, Kiwi Jasper isn’t technically a jasper at all, but rather a combination of quartz, amazonite, and tourmaline-like inclusions, making it a cryptocrystalline quartz rock rather than a microgranular chalcedony. Its whimsical appearance, reminiscent of a kiwi fruit’s mottled pattern, is what inspired its playful name. This stone is relatively rare in terms of aesthetic, it is found almost exclusively in the southern regions of New Zealand, where its cool green tone echoes the lush, peaceful landscapes of its homeland. It’s worth noting that while it's often labeled a jasper in the market, its proper classification leans more toward a quartzite due to its mineral composition.

Formed over millennia through the cooling and solidification of silica-rich volcanic materials, Kiwi Jasper’s tranquil appearance belies its intense geological journey. During formation, minerals like quartz and amazonite were fused together through heat and pressure, sometimes with black tourmaline inclusions giving it the distinctive dark flecks that stand out so starkly against the pale green base. Kiwi Jasper is primarily sourced from New Zealand, though some deposits have been found in Russia and parts of South Africa. Historically, it has not held the same widespread mythological reverence as more ancient stones like jade or lapis, but its calming energy and striking patterning have made it a favorite in modern metaphysical circles.

Kiwi Jasper is a master harmonizer of the emotional and physical bodies, radiating a gentle yet profound healing frequency that nourishes the soul like a warm embrace from the Earth itself. It is known to hold the soothing energy of both tranquility and courage, making it an ideal stone for those navigating emotional fatigue or inner turmoil. Its frequency helps dissolve emotional tension, relieving feelings of overwhelm, bringing emotional healing and peace in the face of life’s pressures. It encourages a sense of comfort and steadiness, as if you're being lovingly cradled by the Earth’s nurturing presence.

Kiwi Jasper acts as a bridge between higher consciousness and grounded awareness, helping you stay connected to Source while remaining rooted in your human experience. It’s especially helpful for those doing energy work, shadow integration, or emotional clearing, as it gently releases suppressed patterns without causing re-traumatization. Its balancing vibration works with the aura to patch energetic holes and reset emotional imbalances. This stone teaches the sacred lesson of endurance through grace, helping you stay spiritually open while protecting your heart.
