Dragon Blood Jasper is found in Western Australia. It is a member of the quartz - chalcedony family. The stone is a rich blend of deep reds and forest greens, mottled together in unique patterns. Legend says Dragon Blood Jasper is what remains of ancient dragons. The green represents the Dragon’s scales, and the red, its blood.    

The Aborigines believed that the Australian dragon was responsible for the development of land, sea, animals, and man. It had the power to control the water and fit the description of a water dragon. The dragon was known as “The Rainbow Serpent.”   

Dragon Blood Jasper enhances the heart and root Chakras and helps to boost the life force. It is known to increase strength and vitality, both spiritually and physically. It is also a protective stone and places a barrier around you to help keep out negativity. Carrying a piece of Dragon Blood Jasper when you are dealing with difficult people, or if you are feeling threatened in any way, can help to keep you grounded and emotionally balanced. It is recommended to wear a heavy piece, in either a pendant or earrings, so that you are aware of the stone.

Placing a piece in the East and Southeast areas of your home will help to promote positive energies and enhance family relationships.
