Spiritual uses: Polychromatic Jasper grounds your spiritual practice through earth-centered spirituality. This stone helps align you with all that is.

Mental uses: Polychromatic Jasper encourages you to find a way to keep your mind stable. It allows you to fully recognize that your beliefs and thoughtforms, or mental energy, were imposed or established by others. This makes it possible to make conscious decisions to discard what is no longer appropriate and to retain that which has a positive influence.

Emotional uses: This stone can be found in a variety of color combinations. The yellow in this stone specifically is associated with the solar plexus chakra and your focus on self-worth, self-confidence, and the courage to be all that you can be. Polychromatic Jasper can also lull you into a calmer state of being.

Physical uses: The red vibration specifically in Polychromatic Jasper is associated with the root chakra and the basic survival needs of food, shelter, and water—which translate into the foundation for prosperity. It is the stone of motivation and is a perfect anecdote for procrastination. This stone is useful for helping you to hone in on the clarity you need to make important changes to your diet (including your mental diet!) to maintain a healthy digestive process.
