 RED JASPER: is just one of the many varieties of Jasper; a fine grained opaque crypto-crystalline type of Quartz (called Chalcedony) that forms in a multitude of varying colors and patterns. Found worldwide, Jasper often contains organic material and mineral oxides which give it interesting patterns, bands and colors. Red Jasper is best recognized by its deep, rich red color that sometimes contains dark gray or black stripes of Quartz. It is said to help with remembering dreams, as well as protecting its owner from danger and helping one to balance an unfair situation.
