Red Jasper Planet on a Goldstone Stand (MARS)

Mars as a 40mm red jasper sphere on a small goldstone stand, from the gemstone planet series that pairs each world with the stone that matches it. Red jasper is the obvious Mars: the brick-red stone, opaque and matte, that has the planet's colour exactly, and astrology gives Mars action, strength, passion and victory, the warrior planet, while crystal practice reads red jasper as the stone of stamina, courage and standing firm, so the pairing holds from both sides. The copper-flecked goldstone stand lifts the sphere like a planet above a dark sun. At 5.5cm tall and 100g it is a desk piece, collected one planet at a time alongside Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon, or bought alone for someone born under Mars, an Aries or a Scorpio, for a sportsperson, or for anyone who needs some fight for a month. Natural stone, so the red varies.
