Jasper is considered a Power Stone and a stone that accepts intense responsibility as a Protection Stone. Jasper gives one the courage to speak out and have personal independence. It's a stone of the earth, and therefore a very "grounding" stone. All Jaspers have excellent protective energies. Jasper comes in a limitless number of colours, patterns and combinations. Jasper is the stone of selflessness; It is the mother of all stones, bringing about "Big-L" Love of all mankind. Jasper makes its effects known slowly and gradually, just like nature. It's considered an emotionally calming stone, and can be an excellent stone for either those who are hypersensitive to crystalline energy and find it difficult to work with, or for those who like change to be a gradual, unfolding process. Red Jasper especially assists in transmuting pain, especially menstrual pain. To draw away focus from pain, back to the centre. For emotional, mental and physical pain, it is a grounding and healing stone.
