About Jasper
Jasper is a magnificent variety of chalcedony that comes in an extraordinary array of colours and patterns, each type carrying unique properties and energies. From the deep red of Red Jasper to the flowing patterns of Ocean Jasper and the nurturing earth tones of Picture Jasper, this stone family is one of the most diverse in the mineral kingdom. Jasper has been revered since prehistoric times as a stone of protection, endurance, and nurturing strength. It is found worldwide, with significant deposits in India, Brazil, Africa, Russia, and the USA. In ancient civilisations, jasper was worn by warriors for courage and placed in tombs for protection in the afterlife. In Vedic tradition, jasper is associated with Mars and Saturn, providing both physical strength and spiritual grounding. At Reiki Heal, jasper is our stone of sustained energy, physical vitality, and quiet resilience. It does not make loud proclamations but instead provides a steady, unwavering foundation of support that helps you endure challenges with grace and strength.
