Geology of Cobra Jasper
Cobra Jasper is a distinctive variety of orbicular jasper, a microcrystalline chalcedony rich in silica and iron oxides, forming captivating orb-like patterns in hues of brown, gold, black, and gray. Sourced primarily from India, its striking design is the result of volcanic activity and silica-rich solutions percolating through host rock, creating rhythmic banding and orbs in the hardened jasper matrix.
Interesting Facts
Jasper has been used since antiquity for both ornament and protection—Cobra Jasper’s unique patterning makes each piece truly one-of-a-kind.
Its richly textured aesthetic adds organic warmth, making it popular among healing crystal collectors and artisan decorators alike.
Pewter Making Process
Made from a traditional tin-based alloy, pewter allows exquisite detail in casting. The hot air balloon is shaped via molten casting and then carefully polished to a soft, refined sheen—offering a beautiful contrast to the Jasper’s matte and glossy textures.
Metaphysical Qualities
Cobra Jasper is celebrated as a stone of grounding, resilience, and transformation. It’s believed to offer inner strength, courage, and emotional stability during times of change.
The hot air balloon motif symbolizes adventure, freedom, and upliftment—together with Cobra Jasper’s stability, this sculpture becomes a poetic blend of grounded courage and hopeful ascent.
