Red Jasper post earrings

Red Jasper post earrings A brief background: Jasper is an opaque variety of chalcedony found in many colors. The name “jasper” originates from the Greek word iaspi, meaning spotted stone. Unlike most jaspers, which display heavy banding, brick red jasper features a nearly uniform deep red tone. Valued worldwide, jasper has long been considered sacred.

Norse mythology links it to Siegfried’s magical dragon-slaying sword, while ancient Egyptians connected it with Isis, crafting amulets for the afterlife. Some scholars believe the sacred breastplate of Aaron was adorned with red jasper rather than ruby.
