About red jasper
Red Jasper is an opaque, fine-grained form of quartz. Its red colour comes from iron oxide mixed through the stone. Jasper has been carved and worn since ancient times, and its name comes through Latin from the Greek iaspis.
Crystal tradition calls Red Jasper a stone of steady energy. It is said to bring stamina, courage and grounding, and it is traditionally linked with strength and motivation when you need to keep going.
