Introduction
The chemical composition of red jasper is silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and iron oxide (Fe₂O₃). It is a variety of quartz that contains hematite or other iron oxides as inclusions or coatings, and is also known as "red ironstone quartz" or "bloodstone quartz."
Since ancient times, it has been used as a protective charm and ritual implement. Ancient Egyptians believed it could ward off evil and disaster, and strengthen courage; in medieval Europe, it was regarded as a gem for treating blood diseases and enhancing vitality. In ancient Chinese Taoism and folklore, it was also often seen as an energy stone, used for home protection, personal safety, and enhancing righteous energy.
