Red Jasper Spiritual Properties: Stone of Energy & Protection

Red Jasper – (Root & Sacral Chakra) – (Zodiac of Taurus)

Red Jasper is another stone that I grew up with. It was plentiful on the Oregon Coast. During our frequent weekend camping trips on the coast, my family would gather buckets of stones from the shore, bring them home, and polish them. Red Jasper made up a large majority. These memories make this stone feel a little bit like home to me. Find out the Red Jasper spiritual properties and how you can benefit from their supportive and healing blessings!

The Science of Red Jasper

Jasper is part of the Chalcedony family, which is then a part of the Quartz family. Jasper is a common stone that comes in many varieties (yellow, green, banded, mookaite, orbicular, and many, many more!). There is a Jasper color for every Chakra!

Historical Significance of Red Jasper

The name Jasper comes from the Greek word for “spotted stone.” There is a beautiful natural occurrence of Jasper in Venezuela called Jasper Falls. It is a waterfall that flows over an enormous bed of Red Jasper and is such a stunning sight!

A lesser known, but highly useful, benefit of Red Jasper is its ability to inspire a sense of responsibility and action. This is the stone that supports in getting the job done. It helps to organize busy lives and provides the motivation and determination to move projects toward completion. Even after the work of the project has become mundane, it provides persistence to keep working. This gemstone can help us see the big picture to decide how best to achieve what you need and which commitments you need to release to attain balance. If you are having trouble with work/life balance, Red Jasper is a calming, nurturing stone that gives us the strength to define and enforce our boundaries. 

This is a protection stone and assists during danger and rescue scenarios. This is a useful stone to keep in a car to ward off accidents and road rage, or to cope with those scenarios if they occur. Red Jasper helps rectifiy unjust situations, so it is useful to carry during legal appointments or negotiations.
