Small, natural red jasper chips in a warm, brick-red tone. The 0.5–1.5 cm size is ideal for decorative jars, crystal collections or styling a space.
The stone of red jasper
Red jasper is a dense, opaque chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz), its warm red colour coming from iron oxide (hematite); its Mohs hardness is around 7. It is one of the most activating types of jasper. In crystal lore it is known as a stone of grounding and vitality, and tradition links it with the root chakra, perseverance and willpower.
Character and finish
These chips are raw, natural pieces, so every chip is unique: shade, shape and size may vary slightly from the photo. That is not a flaw but the nature of a genuine mineral. Pieces typically range between 0.5 and 1.5 cm.
Ways to use it
Red jasper chips look lovely in a jar, in a crystal corner or on a desk, and are popular for craft projects too. Their warm, earthy red brings a steady, grounded mood to a room.
Care and good to know
This is a durable mineral (Mohs hardness around 7), yet it is worth protecting from knocks and abrasive surfaces. Now and then you can rinse it under lukewarm water and pat it dry with a soft cloth. To protect the colour, keep it away from prolonged, strong sunlight.
