What is Jasper?

Jasper is opaque microcrystalline quartz or chalcedony containing up to around 20% other materials, such as iron oxides, which give it its colours and patterns. There are hundreds of named jaspers, from red and ocean jasper to picture jasper.

The name comes via Latin from the Greek iaspis. Jasper was used for seals, amulets and beads in the ancient Near East, Egypt and Greece. Some stones sold as "jasper" (like Dalmatian jasper) are actually other rocks.

Rituals & pairings

Pair Jasper with a protection & cleansing ritual

A traditional cleansing ritual for resetting your space and feeling protected.

Traditionally paired with: White sage or palo santo smudge sticks · Dragon's blood, frankincense or myrrh incense · A white or black candle

  • Open a window, then light a white sage or palo santo stick and let it smoulder.
  • Gently waft the smoke around your crystal and through the room, corners first.
  • Light a white candle and place your crystal beside it while you set a simple intention, such as "This space is calm and protected".
  • Finish with frankincense or dragon's blood incense and let it burn down safely.

Safety: never leave candles, incense or smudge sticks burning unattended, keep them away from children, pets and anything flammable, and ventilate the room. Rituals are shared as tradition, not as a treatment.
