You may have caught on to this if you have been perusing our website, but boy do we love jasper. Each piece is completely different from another, and the patterns and colors are something we could spend all day looking at. Sadly, we cannot spend all day looking at them, but nothing is stopping you from doing that with these red jasper palmstones.

Not only are they cool to look at, their formation is pretty interesting too. Red jasper forms when silica rich water or sediment slowly hardens into a type of microcrystalline quartz over long periods of time. As the stone forms, iron minerals mix into the silica and give the stone its deep red color, similar to the way rust forms. Give it a few million years, immense heat and pressure, and voila, red jasper. The streaks, spots, and bands you see in red jasper happen because the iron and other minerals were mixed in unevenly as the stone formed, with different layers and impurities settling in at different times. Like we said above, each one is completely unique and, as we just explained, a labor of millions of years and the awesome forces of our planet. If you have not gathered it yet, we love these palmstones, and we are pretty sure you will too.

According to Metaphysic: Red jasper is often associated with grounding and stability, helping to create a sense of security and connection to the Earth. It is believed to boost strength, endurance, and courage, making it a favorite for support during challenging situations. Many also link it to motivation and perseverance, helping to stay focused on goals. In crystal traditions, red jasper is connected to the root chakra, which is thought to influence energy, physical vitality, and a feeling of being grounded.
