I have been collecting vintage and antique Chinese beads for many years.  The Natural vibrant COLOR of these Red Jasper beads is so GORGEOUS! I just love the intricate and delicate carving on these rare antique Chinese vintage beads carved from Beautiful NATURAL Red Jasper. These beads measure approximately 10mm round in size. The detail in these beads is just exquisite and and the kind of work you just don't see anymore. These beads are becoming so hard to find! I have these in a few other sizes so please visit

CRYSTAL MEANINGS / FOlkLORE OF Red Jasper
Jaspers have been revered by ancient peoples and civilizations throughout the world as sacred and powerful stones of protection, for both the physical and spiritual realm. They were known as the “rain bringers” and nurturers, healers of the spirit and stones of courage and wisdom. The name can be traced back in Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Assyrian, Greek and Latin, and the virtues of Jaspers have been extolled throughout the ages by the most noted physicians, magicians, poets, scientists, lapidaries and scholars. [
Mella, 77-78][en.wikipedia.org]
Today, Red Jasper is still known as the Stone of Endurance, a gentle, but vital, stimulator of
chi
, or Life Force, bringing physical strength and energy, stamina, focus and determination. Its steady frequency calms the emotional body creating a lasting, stable energy for improving health or overcoming illness, setting goals and following through to completion, facing unpleasant tasks and having the courage to rectify wrongs. Red Jasper activates the Base Chakra and stimulates the rise of the kundalini energy throughout the chakras, cleansing and strengthening the aura.
