Pyramids are among the ancient most magnificent structures in the world. A pyramid has a solid square base and four equilateral triangular shape sides. The base of a pyramid represents the physical body, the sides of the pyramid symbolize the journey of life and the point symbolizes union with one's higher power.
👉 In many cultures the pyramid is considered one of the strongest talismans on Earth. Pyramids are used as symbols of eternal life, spiritual life and cosmic energy.
WHAT IS RED JASPER? Red Jasper is a combining of cryptocrystalline chalcedony and/or microgranular quartz with other mineral phases. The red color is due to the iron inclusions. The color can range from deep red to bright red to brownish red.
There are many varieties of jaspers that can occur in any colors, opacities and a vast variety of patterns. The patterns vary according to where the jasper comes from as each unique one is formed from a consolidation of natural elements in the original silica rich sediment or volcanic ash. There is an infusion of minerals, vegetative growth, weathering and time that all play their role in the various types of jasper we see. Some varieties of jasper have banding, others look like pictures, others are spotted. Jasper is an exciting addition to any rock collector as there are so many varieties, each with its unique character.
WHY IT'S AWESOME? Got any upcoming battles? You can't get much more awesome than the Norse legend of Siegried the Dragonslayer who used a sword that was inlaid with Red Jasper to slay dragons. It is also thought that Red Jasper may have been the first stone in the High Priest Aaron’s sacred breastplate. Folklore in Egyptian culture was that Red Jasper was associated with the goddess Isis. Red Jasper would be carved into amulets to place with the dead. If those aren't awesome enough, Christian culture tells of Red Jasper being formed from the blood of Christ at his crucifixion. In some Native American traditions, it is called 'Blood of Mother' and is known as a Power Stone, bringing personal independence and protective energies.
