Dragon Blood Stone Jasper

Dragon Blood Jasper (technically a variety of epidote with inclusions of red piemontite) is a dramatic and powerful stone characterized by its deep forest-green base mottled with veins and splashes of vivid crimson. This striking contrast resembles the legendary "green scales" and "red blood" of a dragon, created through a unique geological combination of minerals that form in metamorphic rock. Its matte-to-glossy finish highlights an organic, rugged texture that makes every specimen a miniature landscape of ancient earth.

With a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, Dragon Blood Jasper is a resilient and tough gemstone, making it perfectly suited for jewelry that sees frequent action, such as bracelets, signet rings, and protective talismans. It is highly resistant to scratching and maintains its intricate patterns beautifully over time. The most authentic and high-quality deposits of this specific mineral combination are found in Western Australia, though similar variations are occasionally sourced from parts of South Africa.

Deeply tied to courage, vitality, and inner strength, Dragon Blood Jasper is often called the "Warrior’s Stone." It is cherished for its perceived ability to ignite the "fire" within, helping the wearer overcome fears and face challenges with a grounded, steady heart. It is a favorite for those seeking to balance their personal power with a deep connection to the earth, acting as a constant reminder of one's own resilience and ancestral spirit.
