Red Jasper is an opaque, microcrystalline variety of quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂) known for its rich red color, which comes from iron inclusions. It is found in many regions around the world, including India, Brazil, Australia, Russia, South Africa, the United States, and Madagascar. Its durability and earthy red tones make it a common material for carvings, cabochons, and decorative objects, and it has been used across cultures for thousands of years.
 
Historically, Red Jasper has held significance in numerous ancient civilizations. In Egypt, it was associated with vitality and protection and was often carved into amulets and seals. The Greeks and Romans used it for intaglios and jewelry, while Indigenous cultures around the world valued jasper for tools, ceremonial items, and symbolic objects. Throughout history, Red Jasper has often been regarded as a stone of strength, endurance, and grounding, earning it a long-standing place in practical and spiritual traditions.
 
In metaphysical practices today, Red Jasper is believed to promote stability, courage, and emotional resilience. It is commonly associated with the Root Chakra, supporting grounding, physical energy, and a sense of security. Practitioners use it for increasing vitality, calming stress, and fostering determination and focus. While these metaphysical properties are not scientifically proven, Red Jasper remains a popular stone in spiritual and healing communities for its nurturing and steadying energy.
