These are AA-grade Red Jasper tumbled stones from Sofia, Madagascar, sold by the piece or by the pound. Red jasper has served as a carving and talisman stone across human history, prized for its dense, even color. Each piece runs 1-1.50 inches at Mohs 7, fully natural and untreated. A favorite confidence stone for pockets.
Red jasper is a deep brick-red chalcedony, sometimes with dark matrix veins running through it. It's opaque, evenly colored, and takes a polish that reads almost like glass.
Hand-selected from Sofia, Madagascar.
One of the most popular gemstones throughout history.
Red jasper is traditionally a stone for staying connected to your body and the moment, a quiet sense of renewal, and settling into who you already are. It's traditionally linked to the root chakra. If that resonates, keep a piece in your pocket during the day for a steadying presence. Let it become part of your own quiet routine.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Red Jasper sits at 7 on the Mohs scale, harder than a steel blade, so it handles daily carry and a quick rinse without fuss. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.
Natural red jasper from Sofia, Madagascar. No. Red Jasper is not treated or dyed. Its color is entirely natural, produced by iron oxide inclusions.
You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.
Each piece measures 1 to 1.5 inches on its longest side and weighs 10 to 40 grams. About 16 to 32 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.
AA grade indicates strong, even color saturation, a good tumble polish, and minimal surface pitting or fractures. A grade material may show paler color or more surface variation. Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.
These tumbled stones are sourced from Madagascar, which produces uniformly colored Red Jasper with a consistent earthy red tone. It came to us through a community partnership, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
Every lot is inspected and graded by our expert team before it is listed, not taken on the supplier's word. AA on this listing means stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing than the batch average. Pieces that miss the mark never reach the shop.
