Get to Know Red Jasper

Red Jasper is one of the many variations of the Jasper stone, which is part of

Red Jasper Towers

the Quartz family of crystals. It has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Moh’s scale and is great for use in jewellery. Jasper is an abundant crystal found in large quantities throughout India, Russia, Brazil, France, Germany, and the United States, making it an affordable crystal to add to your collection.

Red Jasper is deep red in colour due to its high concentrations of iron. Historically, Native Americans believed it to be the very blood of Mother Earth, herself. Similarly, in ancient Egyptian culture, Red Jasper was associated with the blood of an ancient deity called Isis.

Interestingly, today, Red Jasper is still revered for its connection to Earth and its almost motherly energies.

 

Working with Red Jasper

Red Jasper is best used over time. The stabilizing effects rub off on its users slowly and gradually, but one of the great things about this stone is that its effects tend to be more permanent in nature.

Red Jasper also stimulates the Sacral Chakra, with the ability to activate and enhance your sexual and creative energies. Other benefits include balancing unstable sexual energy and working with the expression of sexuality.

Use this stone in meditation or while focusing on the Root and/or Sacral Chakra to work directly with these energy centres, or, wear your Red Jasper as jewellery to subtly impact your energy throughout the day.

Cleansing and Charging Red Jasper

As always, using crystals effectively means caring for them properly. Keep your Red Jasper pieces strong and vibrant by cleansing them regularly with sage. You can also run your crystals under water with the intention to purify them, or, use purifying stones to clear away any stagnant and unwanted energies that they may accumulate.

Many crystal users like to charge their stones under the light of the full moon. As a grounding stone, Red Jasper benefits greatly from being buried in the earth. Keep your stones buried for up to 24 hours to cleans and recharge their energies.
