Stories of Ma Passion Gemstones – Butterfly Jasper

 

Intrinsically carved aesthetic craftsmanship defines the ethos of Ma Passion. Ma Passion has ranked among India’s top art galleries for more than 20 years. The ancient art of carving jewels and precious stones into gemstone bracelets, rings, necklaces and sculptures in India has been successfully revived by Ma Passion.

Ma Passion kaarigars continue to practice traditional art forms while also studying and implementing newer forms of expressive carving techniques in order to preserve their generational craft of gemstone carving. Each item is handcrafted with the utmost care and precision by the artisans. The diligent craftsmanship of each piece demonstrates the skill that these kaarigars’ forefathers passed down to them. Each art is carefully thought over by a master-craftsman with decades of experience who in turn then guides his apprentice kaarigars to dedicatedly bring to life exquisite gemstone artefacts. The ever-evolving techniques and precision instruments produce the elegant etchings and carvings on gemstones. This unique process of bringing gemstones to life with passionate carving has made Ma Passion the most desirable place to collect gemstone art from.

Ma Passion has a range of sculptures made from a plethora of gemstones. Among them is the rare and unique – Butterfly Jasper. Aptly named for their vibrant patterns and hues that mimic those of butterflies, these gemstones are multi-coloured in nearly every colour of the rainbow and sustainably sourced from the mines originating in Mexico. These gemstones are found in dusty blues, mauves, yellows, tans, chocolate browns, and greens swirled and pooled into one another to create one-of-a-kind stones. Butterfly Jasper has a high polish, and majority of them are polished on both the front and back. It takes years of searching to amass this selection of colour and quality.

When it comes to Ma Passion, you can get your hands on the finest butterfly jasper carvings made with precision that can make anyone fall for its beauty. 

This carving of multiple Ganeshas is etched from a special brecciated jasper, which also means that as it formed, it broke up into a series of fragments that then healed together to form an abstract pattern. Because of the stone’s distinctive patterning, it is known as butterfly jasper or butterfly’s wing jasper. Ma Passion kaarigars used their skills to transform this intricately patterned stone into a spectacle of numerous Ganeshas in a single sculpture, adding to its exclusivity and turning it into a brilliant Ganesha carving.
