Types of Jasper and How to Use Them

Because almost all jaspers have vibrant colors and patterns, lapidaries and jewelers fashion them into polished cabochons, thereby highlighting the intense colors and patterns of the stone. Although jasper is considered the zodiac stone for Virgo, Aries, and Scorpio, different types of jasper stones are considered apt for different zodiac signs. For instance, the red jasper is considered beneficial for Aries and Scorpio because it supplies them with extra endurance. Similarly, the bloodstone jasper is the traditional birthstone for the month of March.
