Yes. Red jasper rates 6.5-7 on the Mohs hardness scale, comparable to quartz. This makes it resistant to scratches and suitable for regular wear in pendant form, where it faces less contact than rings or bracelets.
Natural red jasper is opaque with a waxy to vitreous luster. It often shows subtle banding or color variations rather than uniform solid color. Genuine red jasper feels cool to the touch and warms slowly against skin.
Iron oxide inclusions within the silica structure create the red coloration. Higher iron content produces deeper reds, while lower concentrations result in lighter brick or terracotta tones.
