What Is Jasper Made Of?
Jasper is a name for a group of rocks, gems, stones, and minerals belonging to the Chalcedony minerals group, which is a microcrystalline subset of the larger Quartz family of minerals.
Jasper is a colourful, opaque variety of Chalcedony.
All types of Quartz, including microcrystalline Chalcedony, of which Jasper Stones are a form of, are composed from silica (otherwise known as silicon dioxide), and are therefore classed as Silicate Minerals.
Chalcedony gems are microcrystalline in nature, meaning they differ from other Quartz crystal varieties in that the crystals inside them are invisible to the naked human eye.
These types of Quartz get their vibrant colours from impurities within their crystal matrix such as trace minerals and metals, for example iron oxides.
Other types of Chalcedony Gemstones include Agate, a translucent/ semi-translucent form of Banded Chalcedony, and Carnelian, a unique red and orange form of Chalcedony.

The crystal healing properties of Noreena Jasper include:

The Elemental Energy & Powers Of Noreena Jasper
Noreena Jasper provides a bridge between two powerful types of elemental energies, acting as both a Fire Element Crystal and Earth Element Crystal.
Noreena Jasper, as a red crystal and orange crystal like Carnelian, embodies potent Elemental Fire Energy with regards to both the Classical Elements and the Chinese Five Elements (Wuxing/ Five Phases).
Noreena Jasper's Fire Element Energy infuses the stone with the spirit of bravery, motivation, will-power, imagination, and creativity; symbolising the bravery of experimentation and the courage to try new things by charging into uncertain situations without fear.
Noreena Jasper also resonates with the Earth Element, and therefore each Noreena Jasper Stone is infused with the grounding, stabilising power of Elemental Earth Energy.
As a dual Fire Element Stone and Earth Element Stone, Noreena Jasper is able to both stoke the fires of passion and temper these flames of desire to ensure one remains grounded whilst tapping into powerful emotions.
Noreena Jasper Chakras And Chakra Healing
Noreena Jasper resonates strongly with both the Root Chakra and Sacral Chakra.
Noreena Jasper: Root Chakra Stone
Noreena Jasper can be used as a Root Chakra Crystal Healing Stone to create a sense of stability, grounding, and balance in its user; helping one to weather emotional storms, calmly resolve crises, and temper the flames of intense passion and energy.
Noreena Jasper, as a Root Chakra Crystal, is a potent protection stone and can be used in combination with other protection stones such as Black Tourmaline or Smoky Quartz to maximise spiritual protection during times of turbulence and change.
Pairing Noreena Jasper With Other Root Chakra Stones
Other Root Chakra Healing Crystals such as Moss Agate (also known as Tree Agate) and Cherry Blossom Agate (otherwise known as Flower Agate) pair well with Noreena Jasper as Root Chakra Healing Stones.
Moss Agate and Flower Agate are both Root Chakra Crystals and Earth Element Crystals like Noreena Jasper, and thus when they are used in combination with Noreena Jasper, the user's connection to the Root Chakra and Earth Element can be enhanced.
Furthermore, Moss Agate and Cherry Blossom Agate are very useful healing crystals to use as Abundance Stones and Growth Stones, and thus their crystal healing properties include stimulating personal growth and the achievement of goals.
Use a Noreena Jasper Stone with a Moss Agate Stone or Cherry Blossom Agate Stone to embrace new ideas, follow your dreams, achieve personal goals, and grow as a person as you experiment, take creative risks, and think outside of the box.
Garden Quartz (also known as Scenic Quartz or Lodolite) and Dendritic Quartz can also be paired with Noreena Jasper instead of or with Moss Agate and Flower Agate, for they are also Abundance Stones, Root Chakra Crystal Healing Stones, and Earth Element Crystals.
Noreena Jasper: Sacral Chakra Stone
Noreena Jasper can also be used as a Sacral Chakra Crystal Healing Stone to enhance feelings of motivation, drive, and will-power, making it a great crystal to use for procrastination and low mood.
Noreena Jasper, as a Sacral Chakra Crystal, exudes an invigorating, revitalising energy that helps its user to get out of slumps, refresh themselves with new energy and ideas, and regain lost passion and creativity.
Other Sacral Chakra Healing Crystals such as Tiger's Eye, Carnelian, and Sunstone can be used in combination with a Noreena Jasper Crystal to enhance its crystal healing properties involving energy boosts and rejuvenation.
