Hello gemstone lovers and creative makers! Today, we’re exploring the vibrant, earthy beauty of Red Jasper, the gemstone of strength, grounding, and vitality. With its deep crimson, terracotta, and rust tones, Red Jasper evokes the power of the Earth itself — a stone that connects you to your roots while energising body and spirit.

At Oriental Direct Craft Supplies, our Red Jasper gemstone beads are adored by jewellery designers, healers, and collectors alike. Whether you’re drawn to its warm, natural hues, its smooth, polished texture, or its energising spiritual vibration, Red Jasper inspires courage, resilience, and grounded creativity.

What is Red Jasper?

Red Jasper is a variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline form of quartz, distinguished by its rich red to reddish-brown colours. Its vibrant hues come from iron inclusions, which also give the stone its energetic warmth and strength.

Known as the “Stone of Endurance”, Red Jasper has been cherished across cultures for millennia — from ancient Egypt, where it was carved into amulets for protection and vitality, to Native American traditions, where it was used to strengthen connection to the land and spirit.
