Jasper is an opaque, fine-grained or dense variety of the silica mineral chert that exhibits various colors. Chiefly brick red to brownish red, it owes its color to admixed hematite; but when it occurs with clay admixed, the color is a yellowish white or gray, or with goethite a brown or yellow. Jasper, long used for jewelry and ornamentation, has a dull luster but takes a fine polish; its hardness and other physical properties are those of quartz. The name jasper is from the Greek "iaspis," of Semitic origin; in ancient writings the term was chiefly applied to translucent and brightly colored stones, particularly chalcedony, but also was applied to the opaque jasper. Medicinal values were long attributed to jasper, including a belief that wearing it strengthened the stomach. ❤️Red Jasper Metaphysical Properties: Jasper, in all its forms, is considered a powerful healing stone.
