Before You Buy Red Jasper

Will it be solid red?

Not always. Iron oxide spread through the stone gives the red, from brick to deep red, and it's rarely perfectly even, so many pieces carry darker or lighter patches, veins or bands.

Red jasper or carnelian?

Hold it up to a light. Red jasper is opaque, even at thin edges. Carnelian, its common look-alike, is translucent chalcedony that lets light glow through. Both owe their red to iron, so color alone won't tell them apart.

Raw or tumbled?

Raw pieces are rough, with an earthy, natural look. Tumbled stones and palm stones take a smooth, high polish that brings out the red.

Care

At 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale it's tough enough for daily carry. Rinse tumbled stones in warm, soapy water and dry them. Wipe raw pieces with a soft, dry cloth to keep their light jojoba oil finish.
