The word Jasper means "spotted or speckled stone", and it certainly lives up to it's name. Our rough cut red jasper is a very deep red, similar to the color of red clay pottery shards, having sharp "cliffs" and "swails".
Jasper, in all its forms and colors, is considered a powerful healing stone. Jasper is regarded as a gemstone that gives a sense of well-being, intensifying that feeling.
Jasper is a stone of gentleness and relaxation, with rich color blends that complement each other.
