{"product_id":"dragon-bloodstone-hearts-25x10mm-1-2-kilo-bag","title":"Dragon Blood Jasper Hearts - 1 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Dragon Blood Jasper Heart is a deep forest green stone marked with vivid red patches and spotting scattered across the surface in no fixed pattern. The contrast between the two is sharp and reads clearly even at this small size, with some pieces carrying heavy red coverage and others only a few flecks. The polish is high and smooth, and the Heart sits easily between two fingers. Distribution of the red varies entirely from piece to piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDragon Blood Jasper is traditionally associated with confidence and ambition, and its reputation draws heavily on the visual drama of the red-on-green contrast. A secondary association with energy and vitality reinforces that active reading. Practitioners commonly carry a piece, keep one where it will be picked up and turned over, or give them as tokens. The colour contrast is most of the appeal, and it holds up well at small sizes where subtler stones lose their character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Focus: Confidence \u0026amp; Ambition\u003cbr\u003eSecondary Focus: Energy \u0026amp; Vitality\u003cbr\u003eChakra Association: Heart, Root\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: Aries, Scorpio\u003cbr\u003eChinese Zodiac: Dragon, Tiger\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Mars\u003cbr\u003eElements: Earth, Fire\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 6-7\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Metamorphic Rock\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Dragon Blood Jasper\u003cbr\u003eForm: Heart\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 25 mm (1 inch)\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: 10-12 g\u003cbr\u003eListing: Sold by Single Unit\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDragon Blood Jasper, also sold as Dragon Bloodstone, is not a jasper at all despite the trade name. Jasper is a silicon dioxide material, whereas this is a composite metamorphic rock of green epidote carrying red piemontite inclusions, with a Mohs hardness of 6 to 7. The green comes from the epidote content and the red from piemontite or iron oxide, and the alternating pattern between them produces the scale-like effect the name references. The material is natural and requires no treatment. It has no documented ancient tradition, having emerged from South African mining as a late twentieth-century commercial discovery, and the name is a modern marketing designation with no historical basis. Sources are South Africa and Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
