What is the significance of a fine red stone?
Red color symbols
The color red is a cauldron of passions, the athanor of the alchemists, a hot and lively fire that elaborates equally incandescent emotions. It signifies love and desire, energy, warmth and sexuality; and on its negative side, linked to hubris, anger, violence and aggression.
In the Middle Ages, its ambivalence made it signify both the blood of Christ and the flames of hell. Later, in the Renaissance, the color marked important figures in a painting; in the 19th century, it became a symbol of socialism. Red is energy at work.
Red is a color that drives action and romance, communicating attraction, powerful feelings, fulfilled amorous passion or the disappointment of a broken heart. Red symbolizes vital energy. It can be linked to the power of power - don't you receive a distinguished guest on a red carpet?
Positive or negative, but always bold, red is conducive to enthusiasm and self-image, hence its appeal... and danger. If you're looking for a softer vision, so to speak, with a drop of white in the red, you might consider a rose-colored stone on the page dedicated to gemstones in this hue.
What are the lithotherapy virtues of red stones?
In lithotherapy, the power of the color red reinforces a positive disposition in the face of life's ups and downs. It is the vitality that stimulates and protects mind and body through the stimulus of passion.
Its energy nourishes conviction and self-confidence. So it is with Garnet, a stone conducive to perseverance in love - and whose energy symbolizes the will to follow through on ideas and achieve our goals. Or Carnelian, a powerful tool for overcoming inhibitions by reactivating the motivation to create or change a situation that doesn't suit us. The Ruby, a stone with an all-powerful and sovereign symbol, will be a sign of passion and prosperity, as well as a vector of vital force and protection against bad energies.
And just as hubris can get in the way of life's turning points, Red Jasper will provide a pragmatic anchor to resist and protect us from vigorous but negative forces that could jeopardize our stability.

A red hue can often be explained by the presence of chromium or iron in the composition of the stones. A red hue can often be explained by the presence of chromium or iron in the composition of the stones. In other cases, it's the crystal structure that absorbs certain wavelengths of light, or inclusions or defects, that determine the mineral's color.
Sediment metamorphism and the temperatures and very high pressures experienced during its formation also alter the rock's shape and composition.
