Red Jasper is a variety of jasper, which is a form of chalcedony, a microcrystalline variety of quartz. It is known for its rich and warm red color, ranging from deep brick red to a lighter reddish-brown hue. The color is primarily caused by iron oxide and other mineral impurities present in the stone.
Red Jasper has been used by various civilizations throughout history for its aesthetic, spiritual, and healing properties. It has been found in archaeological sites dating back thousands of years, including ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. In these cultures, Red Jasper was often associated with strength, courage, and protection.
