Receive this exact Leopard Skin Jasper leopard carving, approx. 3.5" tall. 

A leopard that wears its own spots. These Leopard Skin Jasper leopards sit tall and alert with heads raised, carved from a deep slate-gray stone covered in darker round spots outlined in pale gray, so the stone’s natural pattern becomes the cat’s coat. Polished to a soft satin finish.

Leopard Skin Jasper is the stone for when you need to feel at home in the wilder parts of yourself. Like all jaspers, it’s a grounding nurturer that sustains you through stressful stretches, and it makes a calming worry stone for the moments when you need to stop circling a problem and simply be in your body. Its spotted pattern has always pointed somewhere more primal: it’s a favorite for shamanic journeying and connecting with animal guides, and it’s traditionally carried for protection while traveling or in unfamiliar places. Its other name, Jaguar Stone, reflects the respect it holds in Mexico, where most of it is found. Mineralogically it’s an orbicular rhyolite, a volcanic rock rather than a true jasper, which suits its fiery, earthy character.
