Red Jasper Gnome Carving – 1.74 kg (6 in)

Product Description

Introduction

This solid Red Jasper Gnome carving combines playful charm with the timeless strength of one of Earth’s oldest stones. The warm, iron-rich tones and natural banding of the jasper make this piece both grounding and visually rich.

Geological Details

Red Jasper is a microcrystalline variety of quartz belonging to the silicate class and the trigonal crystal system. Its red coloration arises from finely dispersed hematite (iron oxide) during sedimentary formation. Durable and uniform in grain, jasper takes an exceptional polish, which this carving displays across its curves and ridges.

Aesthetic Appeal

The carving’s deep crimson base tone is crossed by subtle brown-gray veins, giving it a natural, earthy complexity. The high polish accentuates these patterns under light, while the rounded gnome silhouette creates an approachable, cheerful display piece that feels both sturdy and alive.

Metaphysical Properties

Red Jasper is known as the Stone of Endurance and Grounding. It is said to stabilize emotions, enhance vitality, and connect the bearer to Earth’s strength. The gnome—symbolizing protection and perseverance—amplifies those qualities, making this piece ideal for workspaces or entryways.

Rarity

While Red Jasper is abundant, large, flawless blocks suitable for continuous carving are less common. This 1.74 kg specimen shows exceptional consistency in color and texture, without the fractures typical in similar-sized pieces.

Why You Will Love This

This gnome radiates warmth and humor yet carries the grounding energy of ancient stone. It’s both a conversation piece and a reminder of stability and joy—an easy addition to any collection or gift for those who appreciate hand-crafted natural art.
