Bumble Bee Jasper is is a combination of volcanic matter, hematite, sulfur, arsenic and anhydrite. It is found in the island of West Java, Indonesia and resembles colors and patterns like the bumble bee. Bumble Bee Jasper has distinctive orange, yellow and black banding and can contain desirable patterns called "eyes." The yellow coloring in Bumble Bee Jasper is due to the presence of arsenic and sulfur, which is toxic, so special care should be taken when handling raw material including hand washing. Bumble Bee Jasper helps one to become more closely attuned to their instincts and become more aware of opportunities. Bumble Bee Jasper increases self-confidence, self-assertiveness and courage. It aids in decision making and relying on one's self for guidance.
[SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS REGARDING BUMBLE BEE JASPER AND TOXICITY]
Our Bumble Bee Jasper is coated with resin to protect from possible toxicity. While Bumble Bee Jasper can be worn, we recommend taking extreme precautions including avoiding wear for extended periods of time and monitoring for any breaks within the resin seal. If there are noticeable areas of breakage or cracks- please contain the pieces in a tightly sealed container and avoid exposure and contact with the material because it is toxic with direct skin contact, ingestion or inhalation.

Thread preference:
• Stretch floss is made up of multiple strands of stretch material woven together and can provide incredible stretch and recoil, while being less likely to permanently stretch out. It is not as strong as elastic cord, and frequently worn bracelets using stretch floss will generally need to be restrung at least once a year.
• Elastic cord is a transparent, singular, rubbery thread that is stronger than stretch floss but does not have as much stretch and recoil potential, making it more prone to breakage and permanently losing its elasticity when stretched to its limit. Elastic cord offers strength, durability and longevity, while stretch floss provides versatility and pliancy.
• It is recommended to restring bracelets at least every 1-2 years to maintain strength and elasticity.
