According to crystal expert and co-founder of Energy Muse Jewelry Heather Askinosie, red jasper is most known for helping people get things done. “It helps with procrastination and taking action,” she tells mbg, adding, “The mantra for red jasper is ‘I take action.’” Historically, she notes, ancient Egyptians would carve the stone into protective amulets because they believe red jasper could ward off negative spirits, and in Native American legend, red jasper is believed to be the blood of Mother Earth. She suggests placing carnelian on top of your board, angel aura quartz on the bottom, tiger’s-eye on the left side, and red jasper on the right side. Those same stones, she notes, are also good for boosting creativity when used together. And in terms of doing chakra work, other crystals associated with this chakra are hematite, black tourmaline, obsidian, moss agate, and garnet. Askinosie tells mbg that for red jasper, in particular, she likes to cleanse it with sound by placing it next to a speaker and playing high-vibrational music, such as Tibetan singing bowls or mantras.
