A Stone Present Since Antiquity

Red jasper is a variety of jasper known for its warm red hues and opaque appearance. Used since antiquity in the making of jewelry, seals, and decorative objects, it holds an important place among natural fine stones.

Its characteristic color comes primarily from the presence of iron oxides during its formation. This deep hue gives it a warm appearance that easily distinguishes it from other varieties of jasper.
