If you're shopping around for a new crystal, you've probably seen Red Jasper pop up. With its deep, earthy red color, it’s a hard one to miss. But what exactly is Red Jasper, and why do so many people swear by it?
Whether you're into crystals for their energy, their beauty, or a bit of both, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about this stone, including its benefits, healing properties, and how to cleanse it.
What Is a Red Jasper Crystal?
The Red Jasper is often called a ‘stone of endurance’, with a lot of people connecting its stunning red, earthy colour with strength, stability, and grounding energy. It’s the kind of stone that’s often turned to when you need to feel a little more centred, focused, or supported.
The Red Jasper stone has been around for centuries, used in everything from ancient talismans to modern-day meditation practices. In ancient civilisations like Egypt and Mesopotamia, Red Jasper was often carved into amulets, seals, and protective jewellery, as it was believed to offer courage and guard against danger.
Warriors were said to carry it into battle for strength and stamina. Today, it’s just as valued, especially in spiritual and healing practices, where people use it during meditation, grounding exercises, or simply keep it nearby as a reminder to stay steady and centred in everyday life.
Our Red Jasper Crystal Point is perfect for those seeking grounding and stability in their lives, and its pointed shape allows for focused energy and intention.
Healing Properties of the Red Jasper Crystal
By now, we’re sure you’ve got a good idea of why many people adore this crystal, but let’s look a little deeper into its many healing properties…
1. Grounding and Stability
If you’re going through a hectic or stressful time where your mind feels all over the place, many people believe this crystal can help bring you back down to earth.
It’s closely linked to the root chakra, which is all about feeling safe, stable and grounded. So, if you’ve been feeling off or disconnected lately, a Red Jasper crystal can help you feel more centred and in control.

2. Increased Stamina
As we mentioned at the start of the blog, the Red Jasper is often called the “stone of endurance”, and this is because it’s believed to give you that extra push when you’re running low on energy - whether that be physically or mentally.
Of course, it’s not a jolt of energy like having a cup of coffee - it’s more of a slow, steady kind of support that helps you stay grounded while keeping your energy levels consistent.
People often keep it nearby when they need help powering through long workdays, tough workouts, or any situation that calls for a bit more stamina and focus.

3. Emotional support
Another healing property of Red Jasper is emotional support.
If you're dealing with anxiety, stress, or just feel emotionally overwhelmed, this stone is known for bringing a sense of calm and helping you feel more in control.
A lot of people say it gives them a sense of emotional strength, like they can face whatever’s coming without falling apart. It’s also helpful during times of change or uncertainty, when your mood might be up and down and you just need something solid to lean on.
Whether you keep it in your pocket, wear it around your neck or hold it during meditation, Red Jasper can be a really supportive tool for staying calm, centred, and emotionally steady.
4. Promotes Courage and Confidence
Red Jasper is also seen as a stone that helps you tap into your inner strength, so if you’re feeling unsure of yourself, second-guessing decisions, or facing something that makes you nervous, this is a great crystal people reach for.
Whether you’ve got a big meeting coming up or you’re just working through some self-doubt, keeping this stone nearby can help you feel a little more steady, a little more sure of yourself, and ready to face whatever’s ahead.
How to Cleanse the Red Jasper Crystal
Many people believe that Red Jasper, like all crystals, can absorb energy from its surroundings, especially if you’re using it regularly for grounding, protection, or emotional support.
For this reason it’s probably a good idea to cleanse it every so often to clear out any heavy or stagnant energy.
One of the easiest ways to cleanse the Red Jasper is to simply hold it under running water and make sure to dry it off afterward.
Some people also cleanse it with smoke by using sage, palo santo, or incense, and gently passing the crystal through the smoke while setting the intention to clear away any unwanted energy.
Another popular (more spiritual) method is placing your Red Jasper under the light of a full moon overnight, either on a windowsill or outside. The moonlight is said to gently recharge and purify the stone without overwhelming it.
As Red Jasper is so deeply connected to the earth, you can also bury it in soil for about 24 hours to help it reset and reconnect with its natural grounding energy. Just be sure to remember where you buried it of course!
