“And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God…And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.” (Revelation 21:2-3, 22-23)
I actually had a dream about red jasper last night. I had several gemstones of it, small, about 1/4″ size, as if someone had cut up and polished pieces of it, and prepared it for a golden mount for a small necklace, but it had fallen out. (Some were flat on the back, like they needed to just be glued into the mount.) And I was picking up these pieces of precious red jasper from off the floor, collecting them in my hands. Some West Indian people were giving me and a few friends a tour, and they had ignored me as I was picking up the gems. I didn’t care, and they didn’t either, as if I were just an addition to the other folks they were more concerned about. Anyways…
I noticed in this verse, it says “And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper…”

Interesting that you dreamed of Jasper, since it’s first on this list of Zion foundation stones and the traditional first sign of the zodiac is Aries.
We do have a book that has a bunch of crystals in it. We’ll have to compare notes.
I wonder if there is some significance to the Jasper belonging to a necklace…a missing necklace.
Also you atypical behavior was noticed, but not too far out of the norm to warrant any intervention. Some safety in that. Plus people too busy about what they feel is important business, than actually really developing Zion qualities. Your Jasper is foundational, but unimportant to them.
Western Indians, also seems like a symbol of Zion, as Joseph was trying to reach them.
Who’s going to dream of sapphire next? 🙂
Missing, discarded, neglected necklace, perhaps–that you were interested in recovering.
This person lists a few places where the Lord talks about making up his jewels.

Maybe it’s a necklace because bedecking a person in jewels is kind of a way of saying they are worthy of them / being them.
