I'm happy to be able to offer a variety of stones in beautiful shades of red, rust, mauve, and pink. This page is an homage to the iron and other chemicals that yield such stunning gemstones! All one-of-a-kind. Click to jump to the stone of your choice, or scroll down. Bloodstone (Heliotrope) Fancy Jasper Noreena Jasper Lightning Jasper Tabu Jasper Kona Dolomite Poppy Jaspers Cinnabar Mookaite Imperial Jasper Rhodonite Bloodstone (Heliotrope) Traditionally considered the birthstone for March, Bloodstone has its own religious symbolism--The specks and splashes of deep red found in the stone were said to have originated in the blood of Christ dripping from the cross to the ground below. A more prosaic explanation is that this deep green jasper got its red colors from iron oxides. Either way you look at it, these pieces are some of the prettiest examples of this stone that I've seen. Important note: The photos show these stones as they look under halogen light. As with any gemstone, they may look a shade darker under less intense lighting, although the colors will still be very visible. As always, your satisfaction is guaranteed.

I've researched this, and as far as I can tell, Fancy Jasper is closely related to Bloodstone, but has a wider variety of colors, including teals, yellows, pinks and blues. These pieces pulsate with deep, rich color--Magnificent! Unless otherwise noted, these stones all have satin-finish backs. Click on photos to see the details of these beautiful stones.

Noreena Jasper, from Australia, can be quite pedestrian in its design. However, if you're lucky like I was, you might be able to find some of the truly lovely pieces that are reminiscent of fantasy art--soft reds, yellow ochres, and blue-greys form the lyrical imagery found in these pieces.

I have a mix of different Poppy Jaspers here. Some come from California, others from Mexico, and some, the dealers weren't sure where they came from. I am making an educated guess that the ones with white spots are Guadalupe Poppy Jasper, from California. The ones with bright red lines running through them might be Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper, also from California. Some might originate in Mexico. All of them are lovely. Click on photos to see details.

My lapidarist friend John Mediz mined and cut these little beauties himself. For lovers of bright red! Note: Some of these stones might appear on your screen to be darker or yellower than others, but actually, they're all pretty much the same color--creamy white with bright red. All of these have unpolished backs. Click on photos to see details.
