And imbuing the wearer with renewed strength and vigor. It association with the deities of combat and courage are though to make red jasper an ideal stone for those seeking victory over existing disease. It is, in addition, a delight to the senses, full of rich, warm color. The ferric, oxide hematite takes its name from the Greek word for blood because, when scratched, take gem appears to bleed. Virtually every great civilization valued hematite, to stimulate the circulatory system, and to relieve fatigue.
