“Kintsukuroi”- ‘the Japanese term for repairing broken pottery with gold or silver and understanding that the piece is more beautiful for having been broken’
Have you heard this quote before? This was the first thing that popped into my head when I seen Maligano Jasper for the first time. It has this almost silky feel to it, when held, and although not ‘broken’ and mended by our human hands by any means, this gorgeous crystal is a variety of brecciated Jasper with it’s outer appearance riddled with a sunset/sunrise vibe splotches of gorgeous beiges, greys and blacks, yellows and oranges met together with these ‘mended’ lines that are often filled with little druzy or Quartz inclusions. This being what instantly reminds me of the art of repairing.
