What are Zebra Jasper Crystals Good For?
All crystals have healing properties that explain what they're good for. In Zebra Jasper's case, there are four healing properties associated with it that can explain what it's good for.
Healing Property 1: Passion
The first healing property associated with Zebra Jasper is passion. This crystal is believed to help you uncover and reignite your passions.
Life can get really busy and what you're passionate about can end up moving down your list of importance. To keep things interesting, and to ensure your cup is staying full, it's important to prioritize your passions. It is believed that Zebra Jasper can help you keep your passions at the forefront of your life.
Healing Property 2: Optimism
Zebra Jasper is known as a stone of optimism. It is believed to encourage the person using it to appreciate the beauty of the world and to live life like there's no tomorrow. This stone also promotes living in the moment.

Zebra Jasper is believed to help you drown out some of the negativity and reframe your mindset to focus on the good in life. It can return you to hope when you thought it was lost.
Healing Property 3: Zest for Life

Instead of seeing life as difficult or dreading the start of a new day, Zebra Jasper encourages you to view life as precious, and to see each day as a new opportunity.
It might seem cliché to say that this crystal will encourage you to stop and smell the flowers, but that's what many believe the benefits of wearing Zebra Jasper crystal jewelry are. It renews your excitement towards being alive and helps you make the most out of your life.
Healing Property 4: Imagination
Finally, Zebra Jasper is appreciated for its ability to spark creativity. Many people have used this crystal to ignite their imagination and get our of creative slumps.
Whether you're in a creative field, or trying to get in touch with your imaginative side, Zebra Jasper is celebrated for igniting creativity. It helps you embrace your day dreams and forces you to think outside the box. It shuts off the practical voice in your head that tells you something isn't possible.
If the above qualities and associations resonate with you, it could be a sign that Zebra Jasper is the right crystal for you. Crystal healing is all about intentions and setting goals to accomplish with your practice. This is why it's vital that you're incorporating stones in your practice that align with those goals and intensions.
What Chakra is Zebra Jasper Aligned With?
Zebra Jasper is believed to be aligned with the root chakra. The root chakra is what influences our physical identity. When it's out of alignment, you might be feeling particularly insecure or unstable in your identity. Many have used Zebra Jasper to realign the root chakra, leaving you feeling sure of who you are.
What Zodiac is Zebra Jasper Associated With?
Zebra Jasper has been associated with the Libra zodiac sign. Libras are known to be innovators and like challenge their intellectual side. It is believed that Zebra Jasper can enhance those qualities and encourage them to think creatively to help with their innovative pursuits.
Libras also struggle with people-pleasing tendencies. They typically don't center themselves in their lives and struggle to find their voice. Zebra Jasper can help them see why they should be centering themselves and encourage them to speak up if they disagree with something.
How to Cleanse Zebra Jasper Crystals
The practice of crystal healing is heavily dependent on energy. The energy you exude, the energy in your surrounding environment, and the energy your crystal puts out. While it's harder to control the energy in your surrounding environment, you can control the energy you exude and the energy your crystal puts out.
When your Zebra Jasper crystal element arrives at your door, the first thing you'll want to do is cleanse it of any negative energy it might be putting out. It's possible that your crystal came into contact with negative energy during its journey from our facility to your home. That's completely natural and to be expected! You can engage in one of the below cleansing methods to get rid of negative energy and prep your stone for your practice:
- Wash with warm soapy water. Zebra Jasper is a water-safe crystal which means you can use water to wash away negative energy. For this method, get a soft, clean cloth and wash your crystal element under warm, soapy water. Use the cloth to clean your crystal for a couple of minutes and rinse off any soapy suds. Make sure you allow your element to completely dry before you begin wearing it.
- Bury it in soil. Zebra Jasper is an earth crystal which means you can use the earth for cleansing. You can either do this with soil outside your home or in a potted plant inside. Bury your crystal in the soil for 24-hours and rinse off any dirt before you start wearing it. It is believed that soil can absorb negative energy.
- Place it in sea salt. You can also bury your crystal in a glass bowl filled with sea salt. This can be sea salt you buy from the store. Fill the glass bowl with the salt and leave your crystal there for a few hours.
It's important to engage in one of the above methods every month or so to get rid of any negative energy your crystal encounters through daily use. You don't have to use the same method you used the first time! Do whatever is most convenient for you.
Begin Your Healing Practice with Zebra Jasper Crystals
Now that you've cleansed any negative energy from your Zebra Jasper, it's time to begin your healing practice! The first thing you need to do to begin your practice is to let go of any doubts or hesitancies you might have about crystal healing. It's okay to be a little skeptical going into this, especially if it's your first time, but those skepticisms can end up holding you back in your practice.
Once you've let go of your doubts, you can begin the intention-setting process. As we mentioned earlier in this post, intentions and goals are an integral part of crystal healing. Essentially, you'll want to decide what you hope the outcome of your practice will be. Your intention should be specific and related to the properties and associations we listed above. For Zebra Jasper, you might consider setting an intention to live everyday with purpose or an intention to reignite your passion and put you in touch with your imagination.
When you wear your Zebra Jasper element, keep your intention in mind. Remember what change you wanted to make in your life at the beginning of your practice. Make decisions in your daily life that align with that intention.
As life goes on, you might decide that you've accomplished what you set out to, or that your intention is no longer relevant. If that's the case for you, you can easily set a new intention with your crystal. All you'll need to do is use one of the cleansing methods we listed above and repeat the intention-setting process with your new goal.
