Red Picasso Jasper
Science & Origin of Red Picasso Jasper
Red Picasso Jasper, also known as Red Creek Jasper, Cherry Creek Jasper, and Picasso Jasper, or Picasso Stone, is a variety of Red Jasper that crystallizes in massive formations. The stone has Red Jasper with brecciated inclusions of Quartz, Chalcedony, and Dolomite, and ranges in a variety of colors such as yellow, green, orange, red, blue, and brown. The original deposit is believed to come from China, in the Cherry Creek mine, near Red River. Red Jasper with similar inclusions can also be found in South Africa, Peru, and Utah, but these stones are slightly different and, in our opinion, should not be called Red Picasso Jasper. The stone was recently discovered in the 2010s and is sold as rough, but also polished into a variety of shapes such as palmstones, bracelets, cabochons, tumbled, hearts, spheres, and more.
Meaning & Energy
Red Picasso Jasper captivates with its bold, abstract patterns and striking red streaks that evoke the essence of Picasso's artistry. This vibrant variant of Jasper is celebrated for its grounding properties and its ability to stimulate creativity and passion. It encourages self-discipline and strength, making it particularly beneficial for those facing challenges and changes. Red Picasso Jasper also aids in transforming relationships, promoting clarity and honesty in communications. This makes it an invaluable tool for those looking to deepen connections and enhance understanding in personal and professional interactions.
Protection
For protection stones to use in conjunction with Red Jasper, we recommend Black Kyanite, Black Moonstone, Jet, Onyx , and Shungite. All of these stones play a vital role in keeping our spirit alive and well. Remember to constantly cleanse your stones (except Black Kyanite) and release them of any negative energies they may have picked up throughout the day.
