About Jasper (Red)
Red jasper is the stone of endurance, stamina, and nurturing physical vitality. An opaque variety of chalcedony colored by iron oxide, red jasper has been used as a talisman of warriors and a protector of life since Paleolithic times. It was known in ancient Egypt as the 'blood of Isis' and was placed in the tombs of pharaohs. Native American traditions honor it as the blood of the earth mother. In the Vedic tradition, red jasper carries the energy of Mars (Mangal) in its most grounding, stabilizing form. It activates the Muladhara (root) and Svadhisthana (sacral) chakras with a slow, steady fire that sustains rather than burns.

Red jasper balances yin and yang and aligns the physical, emotional, and mental bodies with the earth. It stimulates the base chakra and assists rebirthing.

Red jasper provides a slow, steady stream of emotional strength rather than dramatic emotional release. It helps those who feel depleted by life to rebuild their reserves patiently.
