Red Jasper is an opaque, microcrystalline variety of quartz (Jasper), which belongs to the Chalcedony family. Its deep red to brick-red colour is caused by high iron content (Hematite) within the silicon dioxide structure. Historically, Red Jasper has been used as a grounding stone and a shield against negativity. It is an extremely common, durable, and affordable stone that polishes to a beautiful, waxy lustre, making it a popular choice for all forms of tumbled stones, carvings, and jewellery.
Red Jasper is known as the "Stone of Endurance and Nurturing." It is one of the most grounding and stabilising crystals, providing continuous emotional support during stress and bringing a quiet sense of strength and comfort. It promotes stamina, physical energy, and perseverance, helping the user to face challenges with courage and honourable resolve. It gently stimulates the Root Chakra, increasing life force, focus, and a feeling of security and self-mastery. It is often referred to as a "Supreme Nurturer."
