Red Striped Jasper
A microcrystalline form of Quartz – red with cream or white stripes.
Jasper is an aggregate stone, mainly composed of Quartz and Iron. The presence of Iron Oxide (the mineral responsible for its rich, red colouring) pigments the compound, resulting in its distinctive colouring and patterns across the surface of the stone.
Red Striped Jasper is brecciated. The name ‘brecciated’ comes from the word ‘breccia’. This term is given when rocks composed of several different fragments are naturally melded together, creating banding and veins within its matrix.
Striped Jasper is a stone commonly used for providing tranquillity and enhancing determination. Other properties of this stone include helping in the treatment of deterioration of the internal organs.
