SkyNangel 0 #10 September 29, 2003 maybe its red jasper Red jasper is an intensely protective stone, acting to stabilize the aura and rid it of dysfunctional energy. This protection is also manifest during astral travel, which jasper is said to help facilitate. Relaxation, and contentment, mothering and nurturing, compassion, completion, and organization. Jasper can be used in the treatment of tissue deterioration of the internal organs, and for disorders of the kidneys, spleen, bladder, liver and stomach - the energy is more appropriate for deterioration rather than the actual state of malfunction. Jasper can be used to treat the loss of sense of smell. It has been reported to sooth the nerves. sounds good to me hehe http://www.gemhut.com/rjasper.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In that case, if you can see the back side of the stone you can drop some weak hyrdrochloric acid on it and it should fizz. Alternatively, a pocket knife should scratch it, if it's jasper, the pocket knife won't scratch it JumpScars remind us that the past is real Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chronistin 0 #17 September 29, 2003 Looks like a Karneol to me. Don't know if the word is the same in English, I couldn't find it in my dictionaries.
