About Dragon's Blood Jasper
Dragon’s Blood Jasper is a striking and powerful-looking stone found primarily in Western Australia. It’s a variety of jasper composed of deep forest-green epidote interwoven with bold streaks and splashes of blood-red jasper. The vivid contrast between the red and green tones gives the stone its dramatic name and the legendary appearance reminiscent of dragon scales or flowing magma.
Formed through the silicification of ancient volcanic and sedimentary rocks, Dragon’s Blood Jasper is admired for its rich coloration and polishable surface that reveals intricate natural patterns. Lapidary artists value it for its durability and eye-catching contrast, which make it ideal for cabochons, carvings, and display pieces. Each specimen captures the primal energy of the earth—an ancient fusion of color and texture that looks as if it were forged in the heart of a mythical dragon.
