This mineral has been traced all the way back to Egyptian times where it had uses in jewellery, makeup, and sacred trinkets.   Nowadays, Red Jasper is commonly used for crafting, tumbling, and sculpting. Important deposits of Red Jasper can be found all throughout the world with major veins running throughout Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, and Germany.

Historically, Red Jasper was known as a stone of vibrancy and endurance, a talisman of warriors and a promoter of justice, protection, and life.  It staunched the blood of wounds, stirred the pulse, and increased fertility. According to Viking and Germanic legend, the hilt of the magical sword of Siegfried, the dragon slayer, was inlaid with Red Jasper to bring him courage. The ancient Egyptians linked Red Jasper with the fertilizing blood of Mother Isis, and often carved it into protective amulets to be placed upon the neck of the deceased, engraved with the 156th chapter of the Book of the Dead. 

Based on the stones known and used at the time of the Hebrew exodus, it is believed Red Jasper was likely the “Ruby” listed in the Bible – the Odem, or first stone in the breastplate of Aaron, the High Priest, engraved with the tribal name of Reuben. 

Red Jasper was called the blood of Mother Earth by Native American tribes and was used to stimulate health and re-birth, new ideas and strategies, and increased one’s sensitivity to the earth when dowsing for water or calling in rain.

Red Jasper is an exceptional grounding stone that helps better engage you with the world around. It will eliminate all distractions and procrastination, while helping you achieve your dreams and goals.  Red Jasper is often associated with the root chakra, which is located at the base of the spine. The root chakra is responsible for grounding and stabilizing the physical body and is associated with the earth element.

Red Jasper is believed to have a powerful grounding effect on the body and is often used to activate and balance the root chakra. When the root chakra is balanced and activated, it can promote stability and grounding, helping individuals feel more secure and confident in their physical bodies.
In addition to its connection to the root chakra, Red Jasper is also believed to affect other chakras in the body. Some practitioners believe that Red Jasper encourages the sacral chakra, which is associated with creativity and sexuality, and the solar plexus chakra, which is associated with personal power and self-confidence.

Whether used in crystal healing or worn as jewellery, Red Jasper is believed to enhance physical and spiritual energy and promote a sense of grounding and stability in the body.
