About This Red Jasper

Red jasper is an opaque variety of chalcedony, the same microcrystalline quartz family as agate, colored throughout by finely dispersed iron oxide rather than by any surface treatment. The red runs the whole way through the stone.

What separates one piece from another is the pattern. Darker seams and mottling mark where iron concentrated in the parent rock, and a carved form cuts across them so the interior structure becomes the surface design.

The material comes from the Northern Cape of South Africa, whose banded iron formations are among the richest iron-bearing rocks on earth. This mushroom was carved in Zimbabwe through an artisan network and reached us via an existing collection rather than new extraction.

Traditionally Used For

Red jasper is worked with for steadiness and stamina, the sort that keeps you going through a long stretch rather than providing a lift. It is traditionally linked to the root chakra.

If that resonates, it suits a workspace or somewhere you start the day.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.

Care and Use

Sensitivity Low. At Mohs 6.5 to 7 red jasper is durable and handles normal use.

Red Jasper sits at 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, about as hard as glass, so it handles daily use but will scratch against harder stones. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.

Do

  • Wipe With A Soft Cloth
  • Water And Mild Soap Are Safe
  • Lift By The Stem And Cap Together
  • Stable Room Temperature

Avoid

  • Chemical Cleaners
  • Knocking The Cap Edge
