Red Jaspers belong to the most precious of all antique precious stones. In the Book of Revelations, it is disclosed that God consists substantially of the fire-red jasper. Yellow jasper was highly valued as a healing stone by the Asian and American Indians.
St. Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) wrote: "If there are bouts of pain in the heart or on any other parts of a person, place a jasper on this place and hold it there so that it gets warm and the pain will be relieved."
